Adaptations
In competition, it is important that the rules not be changed to suit athletes' special needs. However, coaches can modify the training exercises to accommodate each athlete's special needs and/or adapt sport equipment to assist athletes in achieving success.
Specific adaptations for floor hockey are listed below:
Orthopedic Impairments
If an athlete cannot grasp a stick, the coach can attach the stick to the athlete's arm with an ace bandage or wrist guard.
Auditory Impairments
Use hand signals along with whistle to start and stop play.
