The durable sticks are more lightweight which allows for safe play. The weight of the sticks also ensures that participants of all ages can participate, and the thoughtful design of the blade allows for better stickhandling. The sticks have also been designed not to scuff/damage gym floors. Floorball and modern floor hockey is played with a an aerodynamic ball which ensures that the game is fast and fun. Floorball rules differs slightly from traditional floor hockey rules. The game is a hybrid version of ice-hockey and the basic setup is similar to ice/floor hockey hockey with six players on each team including a goalkeeper. The object is to score more goals than the opposing team within a set amount of time. Floorball can be played in space of all sizes, but the official area consists of an indoor court, 131 x 65 feet (40 x 20 meters), surrounded by 20 inch high (50 centimeter) boards, enclosing the court)
