The first World Senior Championship took place in 1996 in Bratislava, Slovakia, followed in Litomerice, Czech Republic (1998), and then in Zvolen, Slovakia in 1999. It has since been contested every two years, on every odd numbered year, with Toronto, Canada playing host in 2001, Sierre, Switzerland, in 2003, and Pittsburg, USA, having the honours in June 2005. WC 2007 was held in Dusseldorf, Germany, and most recently Pilsen, Czech Republic hosted in June 2009. The future WC events are scheduled for Bratislava, Slovakia in 2011, and returning to Canada in 2013 (city to be determined). Information on how to qualify may be obtained below.

President's note

George Gortsos
ISBHF president

This past weekend I had the honour of becoming the third President of the ISBHF. I believe that as a player and coach I have always strived to play ball hockey in a skilled and team way. Now I have a chance to work with all the great leaders of our sport throughout the World who love the game like we all do. I met some great people in Paris. And I would like to thank the representatives of all our member nations who voted me in on behalf of ball hockey players around the World. This is an honour I will handle with the honesty and hard work that made me a successful player and coach. I want to share the main keys that I will strive to work with my fellow board members to make this game better around the World.
