St. Louis Sports Monster Broomball

The 2008 Broomball Winter playoffs were intense action. Congratulations to Pump Up the Jam! They are the 2008 St. Louis Broomball Winter league champions! Broomball will be back in action in Fall 2008.

Dust off that broom and be ready to hit the ice in the wackiest sport there is...

Broomball was Sports Monster`s most popular sport in St. Louis in the 2007-2008 winter. There is a small window of playing time, so we start in early every December. Rain Dates may be played on days other than the regular league date.

Due to VERY limited space, you need to register as quickly as possible to get your team or yourself a spot. If you are signing up by yourself or with a couple of friends, be sure to include 3 options of what day you can play.

Match play will be in Forest Park at the outdoor Steinberg Rink. There is a convenient "warming hut" that is actually a full service bar and concession stand - bonus on those cold winter nights!

Curious about this fun sport?

If you haven`t played Broomball before, think of it as a combination of ice hockey and floor hockey, but played with brooms and without skates. Sports Monster will be providing the sticks, balls and helmets - so all you have to do is show up (you do need mouthguards too). Broomball-specific shoes are available at SportLine or other athletic stores, but if you don`t feel like spending the extra money - gym shoes work just fine.

Each team will have 5 players (3 men/2 women) on the ice at one time. We recommend having at least 10 players on your roster to allow for subbing and player absences.

Match times run 45 minutes and most leagues run in the evening with 9:00 - 10:30 start times. Please note that due to unpredictable weather, this is subject to change and games may have to be played on different nights to complete the season if possible.

Although many full teams register, Sports Monster encourages individuals and groups to register as we do create new independent teams each season.

This is sure to be a great time! And it only comes around twice a year for a short time - so don`t miss out!
