As you may or may not know, there has been a temporary booking discrepancy at the rink, and we are having to readjust our bookings temporarily.
We have decided that it is best that we take a 2-week break so that the executive can address this and be ready to have Broomball games for its members.
We will have a Women’s game each week, and the Men’s will have 3 teams with a team having a Bye each week and competing for the Zamboni Cup.
These games will also give us an opportunity to train new referees. Please let me or Alan Jabs know if you would like to have a go.
If you would like to play, please let me know ASAP so that we can organise teams. Cost will be per player, no greater than $20 per game, but to be confirmed once we have numbers.
Join us for a 9-course tapas style Spanish themed dinner at Maureen's house (Broadview - address given upon purchase of ticket)
$50 per person (limited tickets available) with money raised to assist development of new players.
BYO Drinks.
Tickets available through Christine.
Hi Broomballers, due to ongoing building works, the changeroom allocations have been amended. Changerooms 5 and 6 (far side of rink) are the only rooms available for use by Broomball players at this time. The schedule has been updated to reflect this change, so please check to see which room your team has been allocated.

Hi All,
As most of you have seen, indoor sporting venues have been forced to close. From today under government direction we find all ice rinks shut.
This means all Broomball is suspended immediately. We will resume once the IceArenA can open it's doors again, and we will keep you informed.
In regards to fees, the committee will discuss with regards to the payments of the last 3 games of Mens and Womens that have been cancelled, and let members know once we have an outcome.
Please stay safe, be smart, practice social distancing, isolate and be clean. But ensure you stay connected, and do not be alone during this time. Everyone is only a message or call away. Happy to have a cider through face time!
Thank you for your continued support of Broomball in SA, and we will see each other out on the ice soon!
Please reach out if you have any questions.

Due to the recent Covid-19 updates, Broomball Nationals have been cancelled.
Local Broomball is still going ahead, but we will be following Health SA updates and keep members informed. No one will be able to borrow the loan gear unless they bring wipes to clean it before and after use.
We are also implementing the following:
Local level Broomball
Broomball Australia recommends all members (players, team staff, spectators) of broomball associations and leagues implement (at a minimum) the below set of actions for upcoming training sessions and matches:
- Replace handshaking at the start and conclusion of games with (for example) simply tapping sticks on the ground, fist pump with gloves on.
- Use labelled water bottles. These must be strictly single person use. Avoid use of communal water bottles.
- Mouth-guards should be washed after each game, followed by cleaning of hands.
- Continue to cover nose and mouth with tissue or flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing.
- Keep 1.5m distance from anyone that is coughing or sneezing.
- Use alcohol-based hand wash where available
- All players and officials should wash their hands with soap and water and dry with paper towel prior to and after games.
- Gloves should be worn when attending to players with injuries – especially against blood exposure but also to prevent contact with mouth-guards.
- Keep your kit together to stop cross contamination with garments and other pieces of protective gear (ie don’t share gloves, jerseys, elbow or knee guards and in particular helmets.
Any member with flu-like symptoms should self-exclude from playing, training and spectating at the first sign of the symptoms and seek medical advice.
