> Learn about Bandy on POG — a free sports network for bandy athletes, parents, coaches, teams, fans, and sport communities. Discuss leagues, events, and local bandy culture while using profiles, forums, schedules, and team tools on one platform.

Bandy is a team ice sport played on a large rink with curved sticks and a small ball, combining skating speed, passing, and tactical team play similar in spirit to ice hockey and field hockey. Clubs and national federations organize leagues and international competition. Teams rely on structured practices, line combinations, and coordinated offense and defense. Bandy communities connect players, coaches, clubs, and federations across youth and senior levels. POG supports bandy with a free digital home for profiles, teams, schedules, messaging, forums, fan discussions, posts, development content, camps, marketplace discovery, and organization tools.
