The IFF is together with the Eerikkilä Sports Institute organising a first IFF Youth Camp in Eerikkilä in Finland from 5th to 11th June 2026. The IFF Youth Camp is an exciting international camp designed for young Floorball players and coaches, that aims to unite participants from various countries, fostering skill development, personal growth, and a strong sense of community within the sport. Application period is open until 22 February 2026.
Overview of the Camp
The IFF Youth Camp is tailored for players aged 12 to 15 years. It offers a unique opportunity for motivated individuals to enhance their understanding of modern Floorball and to share their newfound knowledge upon returning to their home countries. Participants will engage in competitive play, personal development activities, and discover innovative ways to approach the game.
The camp promotes connections among junior players, enabling them to build international networks. Coaches will also benefit from this experience, enhancing their skills in a collaborative environment and applying practical methods with enthusiastic players throughout the week-long programme.
Camp Structure
Each participating country will be represented by 2 to 3 field players and one coach, forming mixed-nationality teams that will compete under the guidance of three coaches. Additionally, 6 to 8 goalkeepers will join the programme. Participants will engage in competitive 5 vs. 5 games, technical assessments, training sessions, and a variety of activities, with teams formed based on technical skills.
Coaches will receive dedicated education integrated into the daily schedule, following the curricula set by the International Floorball Federation and Eerikkilä. This structure ensures a world-class development experience for all involved.
