UKFF - UK Floorball Federation

The Great Britain Men's Head Coach, Binge Strandh has had a successful weekend of activity, all aimed at helping to develop UK Floorball.

On Sunday 07/07 he ran a GB training and trials day in Bracknell for a group of 24 players from across the UK, with assistance from Adam Saletti of London Sharks.

The players involved enjoyed the opportunity, and it is great to know that some of the new players have earned invites to further GB training camps.
