Ames/ISU Ice Arena - Gateway Hills Park Dr. (just south of Towers Residence Halls)
Description:
Broomball is played on ice wearing gym shoes. Each team has 4 players and a goalie on the ice at one time. The teams try to hit a ball that is smaller than a soccer ball into a net, using a broomball stick -- see flyer picture (below).
There is an "Elite" division for men's Independent teams. The "Competitive" division is offered for Women, Independent Men, Residence Hall Men and Fraternities. The "Recreational" Division is open for: Residence Hall Men and Women, Independent Men and Women and Sororities and Fraternities. Teams should choose the skill level they feel is appropriate for their team -- click the "Broomball Information" link at the bottom of this page for a detailed description of the divisions/skill levels. Teams are limited to 15 players on their roster and a maximum of 10 can participate in a game...we don't have enough helmets to allow more than 10 players at a game. The game is 10 minute halves with a running clock. The majority of teams will have 7-10 players on their team. You do not need to know all of your players when you register. You may add new players to your team, by bringing them to your game.
