FAQ


The MetroFHL is a fun-filled, instructive, and competitive Floor Hockey League played at the SAR High School Floor Hockey Rink in Riverdale, NY. The Junior League consists of boys in grades 3-5 and the Senior League consists of boys in grades 6-8. Each player who signs up will be placed on a team chosen by the league directors. Each team will play a given number of regular season games and at least one guaranteed playoff game. All players/teams will learn the rules of the floor hockey game, develop their hockey skills, and learn the importance of sportsmanship and team play from experienced floor hockey players and coaches.

Participants (grades 1 & 2) will learn the game of floor hockey through various hockey and fitness drills, hands on instruction from experienced players and coaches, and scrimmage games all in a fun-filled and competitive environment.

The league format is as follows:

  • Each new participant will receive two new jerseys with their last name and number.
  • Each week parents will be notified via email of the team rosters for that given week. Weekly Rosters will also be displayed on our league website.
  • There will be one or two time slots depending on the number of participants. 
  • Teams will have instructional drills for 30 minutes, followed by a scrimmage game for 30 minutes running time.
  • The tentative schedule can be found here.


As of now there are no practices. Depending on registration and requests, we may add a practice/clinic for each team.


All skill levels are welcomed. Teams will be filled as equally as possible with players of all skill levels.

If your child is a beginner, there are options to have either a private or group lesson for a fee with the directors and/or another coach per request. Please contact us at info@metrofhl.com to schedule a private or group lesson.
