Just enjoy the fantastic work done by the Brazilian and Portuguese Roller Hockey friends from "Portuguesa dos Desportos" club and "União Micaelense" club.
The main goal with this two videos are the promotion of the Roller Hockey school in São Paulo (Brazil,Capital) and Ponta Delgada (São Miguel Island, Azores).
I hope that other friends can use this marketing example to promote our Sport, because day by day the Internet World can be used more and more to spread our Sport around the World.

How to promote Roller Hockey in XXI Century??
| Kids enjoying our Sport in a Square of Avila |
Most of the times is hard to think in Marketing ideas to find solutions to this problem.
Happily there are a lot of people that wants to see Roller Hockey in other level and with more players.
The unique form to reach this point, is betting and teaching the young generation about the beauty of Roller Hockey.
For example last weeks was done in Avila, Spain a Roller Hockey Weekend Camp where a lot of kids could learn more about Roller Hockey. the right image shows the young players rolling in a square of this city, a good marketing idea to promote our sport also also to normal citizians.
 |
| Stuart Carvalhais club that competed in the Portuguese Final 4 of Juveniles |
After 10 years the club is one of the bests in the formation of roller hockey players in Portugal, and has disputed the final four of the Juveniles National Championships, together with some of the best teams of Portugal like SL Benfica, FC Porto and HC Braga.
 |
| Young players rolling in Valongo |
Another idea that comes from Portugal is the promotion of the sport inside a Shopping Mall, as appears on the photo.
In this case AD Valongo, a club from Valongo city, invited all young to roll or to learn it.
Also FC Bom-Sucesso (another portuguese club) did a similar campaign but inside a traditional Portuguese Market.
To show how Roller Hockey must come to the streets of cities and towns all over the World watch the next video, that was a marketing idea to promote the 2011 CERS Cup Final 4 , in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Catalonia.
Young playing Roller Hockey in the middle of Vilanova i la Geltrú, host city of CERS Cup Final 4 in 2011
All these 4 examples, are simple ideas that were used to promote our sport. Together with all the Internet skills that we can use for free nowadays (youtube, facebook, twitter, softwares) it is simple to promote our sport, just takes sometime.
Why you don't try one of them in your city or town??
Do you accept the Challenge??
I would be very receptive to promote it after in Rolling Together

Roller Hockey a World Sport
This is a question that will be answer today, and will prove that is a total mistake.
During the last century and even now Roller Hockey is crossing some better moments and other times worse moments.
As all Roller Hockey fans knows our sport was part of Olympic Games in 1992, in Barcelona. This was the greatest moment of Roller Hockey, and was the struggle of one man that allow this, Juan Antonio Samaranch "just" the president of the International Olympic Committee at that time.
But the main goal of this article is to prove that Roller Hockey, since the last 60 years, was played all over the World.
Most of people doesn't imagine that next countries presented in the list, had already played roller hockey in history.
So these are the countries where roller hockey was played some years ago, and nowadays there isn't any news that still it is played:
Denmark, Ireland, Canada, Cuba, Sweden, Slovenia, Russia, China, Scotland, Norway, Hungary, Guatemala, South Korea, North Korea, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Porto Rico, Cuba, Yugoslavia (now Serbia) and Slovenia.
Are you surprised, wonder, curious????
It is true all these 23 countries played in International Competitions as you can see on the next list of World Cup's, and other Continental Competitions:
1982 World Cup: Canada, Ireland, Guatemala, Venezuela
1958 World Cup: Denmark
1956 World Cup: Norway
1955 World Cup: Yugoslavia, Norway, Ireland, Denmark
1953 World Cup: Denmark, Ireland
1952 World Cup: Denmark
1951 World Cup: Denmark, Ireland
2004 B World Cup: China
2002 B World Cup: South Korea
2000 B World Cup: Canada, South Korea
1998 B World Cup: Canada, China, North Korea
1994 B World Cup: Canada
1992 B World Cup: Canada
1990 B World Cup: Venezuela, Cuba, Canada, South Korea, Hong Kong,China
1988 B World Cup: Venezuela, Ecuador, Canada
1986 B World Cup: Costa Rica
1984 B World Cup: Ireland
1987 Asian Cup: South Korea, Hong Kong
1991 Asian Cup: South Korea, Hong Kong, China
1991 Asian Cup: South Korea, China
1995 Pan American Cup: Canada
(Source of all Championships Information: http://www.rink-hockey.net/busca/busca-competicoes.php? and http://cerh.eu/main.php?action=main-rankingseniors)
Next you can see some photos of Irish, Swedish, and Canadian Teams.

All the Roller Hockey international organisms like FIRS and CIRH should increase the promotion of the sport using new technologies, and call again all these countries to play on of the most beautiful sports of our World.
We need to see countries like China, Canada, Russia... to play our sport.
If somebody from these countries wants to do it and need help all roller hockey lovers are available to help, and of course can be other new countries.
I expect with this article to make everybody see that our sport was, and is a global sport, but of course doesn't have the power of others.
We should effort to put the World Rolling again our Sport!!!!!! Tweet

D’ Rapeg and Patín Sport Winners of the Colombian 6th Journey
One of the Federations that keeps it support and also is improving it, giving more promotion to Roller Hockey, is Colombia.Like other big countries, and also ones where the sport doesn't have yet the money to do normal championship, like Portugal, Spain, Italy..., in Colombia the national championship is played just in some weekends and at the same place, playing all the teams against each other.
In Colombia there are 9th Journeys during one year.
In 28th and 29th of May happened the "6th Parada Nacional Interclubes", in the pavilion of Rafael Naranjo Pertuz, in the city of Barranquilla.
There were men's and women's competition.
Concerning the results, in women's, the winner was D’Rapeg of Bogotá finishing the 6tht matches played, with 5 victories, and a total of 13 points. The second place was conquered by Patín Sport from Antioquia and the third Mimbre fom Bogotá.
About men's the winner was Patín Sport from Antioquia, winning all the 5 matches, finishing with 15 points. The team that got second place was Corazonista from Antioquia, and the third was Internacional de Bogotá.
The next "Parada" (Journey) is programmed to happen from next 24th to 27th of June, in Bogota.
This competition was very important, to prepare and select players which could play and represent Colombia in next International Competitions, Men's World Cup, Senior and U-20, and also Women's Copa America to happen this year.
Another important subject that I think is important to happen soon is the presence of a Colombian club in the next Rink Hockey South American Club Championship to be held in São Paulo from 29th to 3rd of December. Hope to see the Colombian Federation to support it, because in the last editions of the tournament there weren't Colombian Clubs.

Brazil will be the Center of American Roller Hockey in 2011
As announced by CSP (South American Confederation), this year there will exist 2 American Competitions organized by CBHP (Brazilian Roller Sports Confederation).
Copa America, after the best Cup ever hosted in Vic, Catalonia, will return this year, with the Women's Competition. The Championship will be held from 07 to 12 of November 2011, in São Paulo, Brazil.
Last time Women's Copa America was played by 8 teams: Catalonia, Argentina, Chile, USA, Uruguay, Germany and South Africa. The last 2 countries were invited to enlarge the tournament to has more competitiveness.
It would be great that Brazilian Edition could receive more countries like Colombia (present in the 2010 FIRS World Cup)
To note that Brazil will receive next year the 2012 FIRS Women's Roller Hockey World Cup for the second time after 1996 Edition, hosted in Sertãozinho.
Otherwise the 2011 South American Roller Hockey Clubs Championship, will be also hosted in São Paulo, from 29th November to 3rd December of 2011.
If we take a brief look on the teams of last editions, is possible to see that Argentinian and Chilean were the most present. Thereby this organization will assure the presence of Brazilian teams, and who knows if teams coming from other countries, e.g Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, USA ... (as happened in 2007).
In 2010 the teams presented were:
Argentina: Concepción PC, Estudantil San Juan, Olímpia PC
Brazil: Português Recife
Chile: Universidad Chile, Estudantil San Miguel, Subercaseaux Llano, Universidad Catolica
The information of City to host and dates of the tournament was confirmed by CSP.
If do you have some questions send an email to cspatinsecretaria@gmail.com.

New teams in Switzerland
In Switzerland some new teams will appear in the next season.
RHC Basel and RHC Langenthal will start to play in the NLB (National League B).
Furthermore the team of Berner RHC (founded this year) hasn't enough junior players to play yet, so it is expected that they will play only some friendly matches. Some more promotion work should be done.
In other hand Konstanzer REC doesn't have enough players to continue in the NLB , but some efforts are being done, together with the RC Zürich.
Another new team, RSV Baden, untill now without roller hockey, is searching also for players to start in the season of 2012/2013 with a team in the NLB.
At least a note that from next season, the French Federation doesn't allow their teams to play in other championships, so HC Chambéry can't play it no more.
It is very important to have Swiss Teams from all the main Swiss Cities, and who know if some kind of partnership between the main Football clubs can be a solution to promote our sport. Another help, using the example of Geneva, could be the help of Portuguese (there are a lot living in Switzerland) to improve the quality of the Roller Hockey in Helvetian Grounds.
