There is a lot of things to have in mind before playing official games of floorball. Here are some information :
#1
Floorball is played 5 v 5 with one goalkeeper in each team. Goalkeepers normally sit on their knees and a line has two defenders, one center and two forwards to establish a good combination of defense and attack
#2
Floorball is played with a rink around the field, almost like ice hockey, but the floorball rink is lower, only 50cm high.
#3
Floorball is normally played 3 x 20 minutes with two 10 minutes intermissions. The younger the players are the shorter the playing time will be. Every new match and every new period start with a face-off
