The Basics of Ice Football Skating

Ice Football Skating is a dynamic sport that merges the strategic elements of football with the grace and agility of ice skating. The game is played with two teams, each consisting of 10 players. The sport promotes inclusivity by featuring mixed-gender teams, fostering diversity and teamwork.

The Objective

The main objective in Ice Football Skating is to score goals by getting the ball into the opposing team’s net. The goalkeeper plays a crucial role, allowed to hold the ball with their hands, but only for a maximum of 3 seconds. This rule ensures that the game remains fast-paced and exciting.

Unique Playing Field

One of the distinctive features of Ice Football Skating is the ability to play behind the goal. This adds an extra layer of strategy and excitement to the game, as players can use the entire ice rink to their advantage.

These categories allow players to compete against others of similar age and skill levels, fostering development and enjoyment at every stage.
