Broomball!!
January 7th, 2008
Hey Everyone! Our next upcoming Youth event is Broomball Hockey. Now, you may not know exactly what Broomball is exactly, so I’ll fill you in.
Broomball is similar to traditional hockey, except there are a few differences. We play in the ice rink in the Plaza of the Americas. We have teams, goalies, and goals. However, we don’t use skates, we wear our tennis shoes out on the ice. And instead of hockey sticks, we use these broom-like sticks. See the picture below. And instead of using a normal puck, we use an inflatable ball. The Plaza provides the helmets, so we split into teams of 10 each. Since it’s cold out on the ice, it’s reccomended that you wear some jeans, and a good pair of tennis shoes.
So, on January 20th, we will leave the church for the Plaza of the Americas (in downtown Dallas) at 6:00pm, so we need you to be at the church at 5:45pm. We have scheduled playing time from 7:00pm - 9:00pm. Afterward, we will either go out to eat, or come back to the church for some food. That will be decided this upcoming Wednesday night, so check back later on this week for an update. The cost for this event is $15, but you’ll want to bring more if we go out to eat. Please let us know A.S.A.P. if you plan on attending, as we need to coordinate drivers for this event. Also, BRING YOUR FRIENDS! The more the merrier! 20 people play at a time, and we have the rink for 2 hours, so that’s plenty of time for everyone to have some icy fun!
Contact Marilyn Reed (214-763-0627) or DJ Walsted (972-765-1818) to let us know if you’re coming! Hope to see you there!!
