Floorball at Ethos School

Encouraging diversity in activities brings a variety of ideas, approaches, and experiences, enriching and enhancing the quality of each experience.

So that's what we did. A healthy and active lifestyle is the foundation of a balanced and vibrant life. Physical exercise is always a good way to end your day.

The diversity among tonight's participants was quite noticeable. On this occasion, our team members from multiple departments at Ethos had a heightened enthusiasm for engagement, surpassing that of the younger generation.

Like in any gathering, we consistently set aside time for getting to know the participants and socializing.

I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to pick up a new sport, particularly given its relative obscurity in our country. Much credit goes to Thomas, our dedicated coach, whose patience and tireless efforts not only taught us effectively but also ensured that we found joy in the process.

In anything new that needs to be learned, patience and dedication are required, and I can say that our participants demonstrated these qualities here. First of all, Thomas initiated the warm-up with a team game, and our participants slowly got accustomed to the rules of the game and how it would unfold.

After a series of attempts, during which they familiarized themselves with the ball, stick, and each other, we can now confidently declare that the true game is ready to commence.

Our colleagues displayed a commendable level of competitiveness and a strong desire for victory. Fortunately, I'm pleased to report that no one sustained any injuries throughout this process.

In adherence to the game's principles, each of the two teams had two reserve teams on standby, ready to step in when the players grew weary. From my observations, it became evident that this sport placed significant demands, and our dearth of leisure-time training undeniably took its toll.

Based on the available information, the score was neck-and-neck. We can confidently assert that it resulted in a draw, allowing everyone to leave with a smile. Of course, our referee could correct us if circumstances were otherwise.

Congratulations to our colleagues who managed to face the challenge with great success, demonstrating that they can meet expectations in any situation, just as well as their male counterparts.

After such an intense physical effort, I believe a well-deserved break is in order. Let's not forget that hydration is essential, and some snacks from Ethos bakery were very well received. Of course, these went hand in hand with some quality socializing time to recharge our energies.

​The break is over, and it's our time of fellowship with the Lord. Brother Cristi Cleciu kindly accepted our invitation to participate in this gathering and share the Word of the Lord along with some thoughts. The theme of our discussion was our identity and what we should relate it to. It should be found in the identity of the Lord Jesus as shown to us in the Bible. We're thankful that he chose to do this.

In other words, it was yet another successful evening where we experienced something entirely different, and it was beneficial for each one of us, both physically and spiritually. We extend heartfelt thanks to all who made this evening possible and truly special.
