FLOOR HOCKEY About Floor Hockey: Floor hockey is a family of indoor hockey games, usually in the style of ice hockey, that are played on flat floor surfaces, such as a basketball court. As in other hockey codes, players on each team attempt to shoot a ball or puck into a goal using sticks, usually with a curved end. Established at Special Olympics: 1970 Differences of Special Olympics Floor Hockey: Special Olympics, Inc. is the International Governing Body for Floor Hockey, so all rules are created by Special Olympics. However, Floor Hockey is unique within Special Olympics because the sport is played at every skill level using the exact same rules. Another important rule of Special Olympics Floor Hockey is that all players on the team, with the exception of the goalie, are required to play equal amount of time during each game. By The Numbers: In 2011, 71,998 Special Olympic Athletes participated in Floor Hockey competitions In 2011, 79 Special Olympic Programs hosted Floor Hockey competitions Floor Hockey is the only team sport in the Special Olympic Winter Games Since 2005, Athlete participation in Floor Hockey has increased by approximately 130%! Events for Competition: Individual Skills Competition Team Competition Unified Sports Team Competition Associations/Federations/Supporters: Special Olympics, Inc. is the International Governing Body for Floor Hockey Divisioning at Special Olympics: Athletes in every sport and event are grouped by age, gender, and ability – giving everyone a reasonable chance to win. At Special Olympics there are no World Records because each athlete, whether in the fastest or the slowest division is valued and recognized equally. In every division, all athletes receive an award, from gold, silver, and bronze medals, to fourth through eighth place ribbons. This idea of equal ability groupings is the foundation for competition in Special Olympics and can be witnessed at all events, whether it’s athletics, aquatics, table tennis, football, skiing, or gymnastics. All athletes are given an equal chance to participate, perform, and be recognized for doing their best by their teammates, family, friends, and fans.” www.specialolympics.org .

In an Effort to Standardize Ringette Line Markings Across the Country, the CRFC Has Worked in Consultation with Ringette Canada
In an effort to standardize ringette line markings across the country, the CRFC has worked in consultation with Ringette Canada on how best to layout a ringette ice sheet. The CRFC supports the revised layout and encourages facility managers to consider the benefits of conforming to these layout guidelines whenever possible. New construction and/or retrofits to a facility should give consideration to these measurements, however, other ice sport marking requirements should be overlayed prior to making any changes so that all ice sports are given the same consideration. The following drawings are offered as a support tool for ice technicians to your planning and annual ice painting activities. As ice markings may change at any time, be reminded of the importance for you to annually recheck all local and regional ice sport marking requirements prior to undertaking the ice painting task! VERSION 2013-7 CRFC - RINGETTE CANADA LINE MARKINGS Ice rinks that offer the sport of Ringette will be required to install additional painted/fabric markings. Ringette utilizes most of the standard Hockey Canada (HC) ice hockey markings with additional free pass dots in each of the attacking zones and centre zone areas as well as a larger defined crease area. Two (2) additonal free play lines (1 in each attacking zone) are also required. Free Play Lines In both attacking zones located above the 30 ft. (9.14 m) circles is a 5.08 cm (2 in.) red “Free Play Line”. These lines shall be installed to completely overlap the top of each of the 30 ft. circles.

Floor Hockey Study Guide
Floor Hockey Study Guide History Tom Harter, director of Civic Recreation in Battle Creek, Michigan, introduced the new game of floor hockey modified from the original game of ice hockey. Ice hockey began in Canada in the mid 1800’s. By 1900, it became the national sport of Canada. Since then, it has become more popular in many other countries, especially Russia, Sweden, and the United States. It is a fast paced game, and the only game allowing player substitutions during play. Now, over 1000 amateur players take part at the community, high school and college levels. Typically, hockey games are divided into 3-20 minute periods with 2 intermissions between them. The object is to score points by hitting the puck into the goal or net. Floor hockey is a modification of ice hockey with differences in rules and modifications and of course, no use of ice or skates. Balls can be used in replacement for pucks. Use of a ball makes stick handling easier and increases the pace of the game. Terms Assist ––– a pass from a teammate that leads to a goal. Blade ––– the curved end of the stick, front and back, used to hit the puck. Body or Shaft – the main part of the stick, used to hold and stickhandle. Butt or End – the end knob used for better grip, to keep the hand from sliding off the stick. Centering the puck ––– to pass to a spot (the point) in front of the opponents goal. Goalie Crease – the area where no player’s feet or stick, except for the goalie, is allowed during play.

Seit zehn Jahren unterstützen die Südtiroler Raiffeisenkassen den VSS als Gene- ralsponsor. Ende vorigen Jahres wurde diese erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit um weitere fünf Jahre verlängert. Eine von Vertrauen, Verlässlichkeit und Wertschät- zung geprägte Zusammenarbeit wird damit fortgesetzt. Darüber freue ich mich, denn die Förderung des Jugend- und Breitensports, wie sie der VSS in Südtirol betreibt, ist den Raiffeisenkassen seit Jahrzehnten ein besonderes Anliegen. Ob Fußball oder Leichtathletik, Behinderten- oder Seniorensport, Tennis oder Rad- sport – und andere Bereiche mehr: Sportförderung bedeutet immer eine Inves- tition in die Zukunft, und daher ist sie wertvoll! „Sport ist wert(e)voll“ – so lautet auch das heurige Jahresmotto des VSS. Und dass Sport wert(e)voll ist, kann ich als leidenschaftlicher Skifahrer, der auch gerne mal ein Skirennen fährt, nur voll bestätigen. Winston Churchill, der bekannte britische Staatsmann, brachte es so auf den Punkt: „Keine Stunde im Leben, die man im Sport verbringt, ist verloren.“ In diesem Sinne freue ich mich, dass der VSS auch Menschen mit Beeinträchti- gung ein breites Sportangebot eröffnet. Mit der Neuauflage dieser Broschüre werden die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten sportlicher Betätigung und auch das große Engagement der Vereine im VSS für den Behindertensport aufgezeigt. Ein Engagement, das Anerkennung verdient! Herbert Von Leon Obmann des Raiffeisenverbandes 4 Liebe Freunde des Behindertensports!

How to Develop Disability Awareness Using the Sport Education Model
How to Develop Disability Awareness Using the Sport Education Model JOHN T. FOLEY DANIEL TINDALL LAUREN LIEBERMAN SO-YEUN KIM Disability simulation exercises can promote the acceptance of students with disabilities in inclusive settings. rs. Rodriquez has been a physical education teacher at Betsy Ross Middle School for 17 years. She is always looking for ways to update her curriculum for the benefi t of her students, so she went to a workshop on the sport edu- cation model (SEM) sponsored by her state association. She loved the idea Mand could not wait to implement it in the fall. Not long after the workshop, Mrs. Rodriquez noticed that two of her students, Jessica and Fernando, were not interacting with their peers during recess. Jessica is a cheerful student with Down syndrome and Fernando is a quiet student with cerebral palsy who uses a wheelchair independently. Mrs. Rodriquez and other faculty at the school had often talked about how benefi cial a disability awareness day would be for the student body, but had never actually organized one. Mrs. Rodriquez thought back to the workshop and decided to embed disability awareness into SEM for the entire physical education curriculum in the fall term. Mrs. Rodriquez utilized the SEM during her second unit of the fall, in which she taught fl oor hockey in all her classes. During this time she also incorporated a disability awareness component to increase student knowledge and awareness of children with disabilities. In her class with Jessica and Fernando, students had made the decision to use large Frisbee disks as pucks.
