We just moved into a new place which has a very small patch of grass and we can’t bring ourselves to buy a brand new / second hand lawn mower just for the small patch of grass. We’re going to either put concrete down on it or turn it into tiger turf but until then we’re at a loss for how to actually mow it.
Any help would be appreciated.

You may recognise it from school as Unihoc or Indoor Hockey.
Floorball is a team event. It is fast paced with lots of short sprint running and breaks in between. It is fun to play and very easy to learn. If you have played Field Hockey, Tennis, Football or any other ball sport, you will quickly pick up Floorball as well. What is even better is the fact that it is played indoors. Rain or shine…you can play Floorball.
We play twice a week.
Wednesday nights from 7:30pm till about 8:45pm we have the older teens, youth and adults playing.
Sunday afternoons we have the kids from age about 6 and upwards playing from 3:45pm until about 5;00pm….
Cost of playing is $2.00 for those aged 17 or younger. Those aged 18 and older pay $5.00 per session.
We have equipment in the form of balls and sticks to play with so all you need is t-shirt, shorts and indoor sports shoes.
If you want to know more about Floorball, please contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Cheers
