USA Broomball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USA Broomball is the official United States governing body recognized by the International Federation of Broomball Associations (IFBA). The organization is responsible for sanctioning tournaments and leagues, training and certifying officials, and recognizing broomball governing bodies for individual states in the USA.
USA Broomball also organizes and oversees the annual National Championship tournament, held in Minnesota in odd-numbered years and in a different state with a recognized state organization in even-numbered years. National championships are contested in Men's Elite, Men's Class A, Men's Class C, Men's Class D, Women's, Co-Rec, and Collegiate Co-Rec divisions. USA Broomball takes responsibility for placing teams in the appropriate division and teams are not allowed to pick up players from higher-division teams for the National Championships.
The 2007 National Championships are scheduled to be held at Schwan's Super Rink in Blaine, Minnesota, March 30-April 1, 2007.
