Philippine Floorball Association formerly known as the Floorball Philippines[1] is the governing body of floorball in the Philippines.

History

[edit]

Floorball in the Philippines was introduced around the early 2000s when the Ateneo de Manila High School received equipment.[2] However it was only 2008 when they was a concerted effort to promote floorball with Kreative Kids along with Athletes In Action held free sporting clinics and training in various schools and universities in the country.[3] Scandinavia missionary Fredrik Bergren taught the sport to urban poor individuals.[4]

The sporting body was founded as Floorball Philippines, Inc. on April 4, 2011 with its registration at the Securities and Exchange Commission. On May 8, 2011, FP was admitted as the 53rd member of the International Floorball Federation.[3] The sports body organized the first season of the Philippine Floorball League in 2012.[2]

FP sent the first ever men's and women's national teams at the 1st SEA Floorball Championships in Singapore.[5]

FP became the Philippine Floorball Association (PFA) on April 10, 2015 by four clubs from four school institutions; University of the Philippines, University of Makati, University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P Dragons), and the De La Salle Zobel.[2]
