According to the The 2012/13 Global Magaizine Men's Top 60 (USA broomball magazine) the Australian Men's team has been ranked number 36 in the world!
Last year the team was ranked 56th but due to an outstanding performance at last years World Championships obtaining a bronze medal in the challenge cup they managed to jump up to be one of the big movers in the rankings.

Congratulations Australian Broomball.

Note: The list is supposed to be outdated and based on actual results from many different levels of competition and a formula that has been developed by the magazine.

The 2013 Broomball Australia Nationals commence early April 25th. Teams from all member associations are represented across the three divisions on offer.

The host committee has worked hard to set in place a tournament worthy of the sport in Australia. It is worth noting that the host BASA celebrated it's 30th birthday last year (2012) and 2013 is the 30th time that the Nationals has been scheduled and run.

Broomball Australia welcomes all to Adelaide and bids all a safe and enjoyable tournament.

Alan Jabs
President Broomball Australia

The tournament is starting to take on that International flavour. Confirmed by the Host committee (Broomball Victoria) is a team from NWT Canada as well as a team from Ottawa. This means that there will be a womens and a mens division. We are also currently waiting on confirmation from Japan Broomball of interest in sending either a team(s) or players to the tournament.

We welcome enquiries from interested teams from overseas who can contact me at president@broomballaustralia.org. A comprehensive ionformation package is available which can be sent on request.

The 2013 Broomball Australia Nationals will be hosted by BASA (Broomball Association of South Australia) commencing ANZAC Day. At this stage the format will be similar to that in Melbourne in 2012 and it is hoped that we will be visited by 6 persons from Japan who will be coming to attend our officials course. Negotiations are also under way to again have Doug Nixon (the IFBA Referee in Chief) attend as our RIC. Further detyails will be passed on as they come to hand.

Broomball Australia is please to announce that the Pacific Rim tournament to be held in Australia in 2013 will be now held in Melbourne at the new Melbourne Ice Rink. This facility is international and world class with ice to match.

A recent announcement by Cory Skilton the Broomball Victoria President on Facebook and via email goes as follows:

"On behalf of Broomball Victoria, I am very happy to announce that we will be hosting the 2013 Pacific Rim International at the Medibank Icehouse in Melbourne, 16-19 October 2013.

Recently Broomball Victoria went live with their new web site. The home of the 'Thunder' contains much information including details on the up-coming Broomball Australia Nationals and is certainly worth the visit.
