tasks

The Floorball Association Germany has been a member of the German Olympic Sports Association (DOSB) since December 2014 .

The association publishes the rules and regulations to be applied in Germany, controls referee training and coordinates national match operations within the men's first and second division as well as the women's first division. Furthermore, the Floorball Germany Cup has been organized since 2007 .

He also coordinates floorball development in schools and clubs, in particular organizing the nationwide Floorball Cup as a school sport competition for mixed teams and having it hosted by the regional associations. In some federal states, this competition is partly included as a complementary sport in the Youth Trained for the Olympics (JtfO) program.

Renaming of the sport

The name of the sport has an eventful history behind it.

At its eleventh regular assembly of delegates on August 9, 1997 in Grasleben, the Fachverband Deutscher Unihoc Bund eV (DUB) adopted the term Unihoc by a majority and replaced it with floorball. Unihoc is the brand name of a well-known manufacturer of floorball playground equipment and the DUB would not have been approved for the world championships of the International Floorball Federation at the time .

At the 15th ordinary delegates 'meeting on September 25, 1999 in Berlin, the majority of the delegates - in solidarity with the Swiss Floorball Association (SUHV) - held on to the name floorball, but on September 26th, 2009, a decision was made at an extraordinary delegates' meeting in Weißenfels to use the term floorball from now on. As a result, the terminology of the internationally customary naming was adjusted. In addition, confusion, especially with hockey or university sports, is avoided and the uniqueness of the sport is clearly positioned and made marketable. The association's name change was confirmed in 2010 by the general assembly in Bordesholm. The change in the register of associations took place shortly afterwards.
