Quick answer
The best floorball training equipment is the kit that gives you the most quality ball touches in the space you have. For most players that means a smooth surface (floor tiles or a shooting pad), a stickhandling trainer, a passer, a full-size goal (160 x 115 cm) with a backstop net, and plenty of balls. Start with tiles and a stickhandling trainer from €148 combined, then add a passer, goal and net as space and budget grow. Targets and smart add-ons come last.
Key takeaways
- Buy for the skill you train least. Most players over-shoot and under-train passing and stickhandling.
- A smooth surface comes first: it protects your blade, your floor and lets the ball run true.
- A passer gives you a training partner. A stickhandling trainer gives you a tight, repeatable drill in under 1 m².
- A goal needs a backstop net. Without one, a shooting setup is a risk for windows, cars and neighbours.
- Every kit in the table below costs less than buying its parts separately.
- Equipment is a means, not a goal. A 20-minute plan used five days a week beats an expensive kit used twice.
What equipment categories do you need to know?
Floorball training equipment falls into six groups. Understanding what each does makes it easier to decide what you actually need.
- Surfaces: floor tiles and shooting pads for smooth, consistent ball roll at home.
- Stickhandling tools: trainers that create obstacles and dodges in a small space.
- Passing tools: rebounders (passers) for passing, receiving and one-timers (hitting the ball directly without stopping it).
- Shooting gear: goals, targets and goalie targets.
- Safety gear: backstop and safety nets.
- Balls: the standard ball weighs about 23 g and measures 72 mm with 26 holes.
Better Floorball is a Swedish brand that sells its own products without middlemen, so prices stay low. Products are designed in Sweden and tested for maximum durability, and some of the world's best floorball players use them. The Extreme Floorball Tiles, Passer, Passer Pro, Stickhandling Trainer and the 3-target Shooting Targets are Made in Europe.
Which surface is best: tiles or a shooting pad?
This is the first big choice. Tiles are modular, 33 x 33 cm each, and can be built into any shape. A shooting pad is a single sheet, ideal for a shooting spot. If you can only buy one, tiles are more flexible because you can train every skill on them. For a full comparison, read tiles vs shooting pad.

| Extreme Floorball Tiles 15-Pack | about 1.6 m² | €139 | Stickhandling plus passing |
| Extreme Floorball Tiles 30-Pack | about 3.2 m² | €254 | Passing, receiving and shooting from a short run-up |
| Extreme Floorball Tiles 45-Pack | about 4.9 m² | €379 | A real shooting zone |

What do you need for stickhandling and passing?
These two skills carry over to every game situation, and you can train them in very small spaces. The Extreme Floorball Stickhandling Trainer (€69) folds into different shapes, so you can practise dodges and turns around it. It is easy to carry, which makes it useful if you share a space or train outdoors.
For passing, a rebounder is the best tool. The Extreme Floorball Passer (€129) handles straight passes, and you can flip it to work on volley passes. The Extreme Floorball Passer Pro (€149) has two passing slots, so you can switch between straight and volley passes without a partner. If you are unsure, our comparison Passer vs Passer Pro explains who each is for.
Coach Erik's tip: Most players I coach want to buy a goal first because shooting is fun. I would buy the stickhandling trainer and a passer first. Better touch and passing make every shot better, and the two together take up less space than a goal and net.
What do you need for shooting?
Shooting at home needs three things: a target, a surface and a net behind the target. The Extreme Floorball Goal (€149) is the official size of 160 x 115 cm, weatherproof for year-round outdoor use and foldable for storage. It weighs 9 kg. For safe shooting, add a net. The Extreme Backstop Net 5x2,5 m (€129) suits most gardens and garages, while the Extreme Safety Net 7,5x2,6 m (€139) covers a wider area.
To improve accuracy, the Extreme Floorball Shooting Targets (€34) set of 3 installs on a full-size goal in about 10 seconds. If you want a "goalkeeper" to shoot around, the Extreme Floorball Goalie (€129.95) turns any full-size goal into a more realistic challenge. For data and games, the Xtreme Shooting Targets 4-Pack (€379.95) connects to a training app. It is an advanced extra, not a starting point, and our article on smart shooting targets explains how it works. Stock up on balls as well. The Floorball 50-Pack (€89) gives you enough balls to shoot for a long time before you have to collect them.
Are kits better value than single products?
Kits bundle matching items and reduce the number of decisions. Here is how the main ones compare.
| Kit | Includes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Extreme Floorball Shooting Kit | Official-size goal plus 120x60 cm shooting pad | €199 |
| Extreme Floorball Shooting Kit Tiles | Official-size goal plus 8-pack of tiles (0.9 m²) | €209 |
| Extreme Floorball Shooting Kit Tiles XL | Official-size goal plus 15-pack of tiles (1.6 m²) | €279 |
| Extreme Floorball Passing Kit Tiles | 15-pack of tiles plus Passer | €239 |
| Extreme Floorball Passing Kit Tiles XL | 30-pack of tiles (3.2 m²) plus Passer Pro | €379 |
| Extreme Floorball Skills Kit | 45-pack of tiles (4.9 m²), Passer Pro and Stickhandling Trainer | €569 |
Within the kits, only the tiles, passers and stickhandling trainer are Made in Europe. If you cannot decide between kits, which floorball shooting kit is right for you helps you narrow it down.

What about the stick and other personal gear?
Training equipment does not replace a stick that fits you. A good rule of thumb is that the stick end reaches roughly to your navel or a few cm below when you stand in shoes. The IFF maximum length is 114 cm. A lower shaft flex number in mm means a stiffer shaft, and lighter or younger players usually do better with a softer flex. Our article on how to choose a floorball stick covers length, flex and curve in detail.
How do you use the equipment in a weekly routine?
Equipment only helps if it is used on a schedule. Here is a simple week for a player with a tile surface, a stickhandling trainer, a passer and a goal with a net. Each session is 20–30 minutes, and the rest days are part of the plan.
| Day | Focus | Reps and time |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Stickhandling | 3 x 2 minutes around the trainer, then 100 touches side to side |
| Tuesday | Passing and receiving | 4 x 25 passes against the passer, forehand and backhand |
| Wednesday | Rest or light mobility | 10 minutes of stretching |
| Thursday | Shooting | 5 rounds of 10 shots, aiming at the lower corners |
| Friday | Combined | Pass, receive, turn and shoot: 6 rounds of 5 repetitions |
| Saturday | Game or free play | Small-sided game with friends if possible |
| Sunday | Rest | No stick |
Cue: finish every shooting round with the stick below waist height in the follow-through. Watch for: rushing the last repetitions. Quality beats speed here.
Common mistakes
Buying a goal without a net
Loose balls are a safety and neighbour problem. Fix: always budget for a backstop or safety net with the goal.
Training only the shot
Players with a goal often neglect everything else. Fix: split sessions into stickhandling, passing and shooting.
Choosing the biggest pack by default
A 60-pack needs 6.5 m² of space. Fix: measure your area first, then pick a pack that fits.
Buying gadgets before basics
Smart targets are fun, but they do not replace tiles and a passer. Fix: build the base first, add extras later.
Leaving gear outside without a plan
Tiles and the goal are made for outdoor use, but nets and balls last longer when stored properly. Fix: read our guide on caring for your gear.
FAQ
What is the best floorball training equipment for beginners?
A pack of floor tiles and a stickhandling trainer give the best start, because they work in any small space and train the skill that supports everything else. Add a passer, then a goal and backstop net, as your space and budget grow.
How much does a good home training setup cost?
A basic stickhandling setup starts at €148 with the Stickhandling Trainer and the 8-pack of tiles. A shooting setup with goal and net is about €278, and a complete skills zone with the Skills Kit, goal and net is around €847.
Do I need a passer if I have a wall?
A wall works for passing, but a passer gives more predictable returns and lets you practise volley passes and one-timers. It is also portable, which means you can use it in any part of your training zone.
Is a shooting pad or tiles better for home use?
Tiles are more flexible because they cover all skills and can be expanded. A shooting pad is good for one shooting spot at a lower price. If you can only choose one, most players benefit more from tiles.
Do I need a safety net?
If you shoot at a goal outdoors or in a garage, yes. A backstop net stops balls from flying into windows, cars and neighbouring gardens, and it saves a great deal of time collecting balls.
Are smart targets worth it?
They are a fun extra for players who already train regularly and want feedback on accuracy and speed. For most beginners, basic targets at €34 or a stickhandling trainer give a better return per euro.
Summary
The best floorball training equipment is the kit you will use daily: a smooth surface, a stickhandling trainer, a passer, a goal with a net and enough balls.
