The Finnish National Team had a training camp last weekend in Pajulahti. They also tested the new taraflex-floor in the playing hall A. Finnish Coach Timo Laitinen told that the floor is different than a wooden floor: the ball works there in a different way. This floor is similar as it is going to be also in Beijing Paralympics. Before EC 2008 the Finnish National Team is going to participate to the International tournament in Lithuania. The goal of the finnish team is to raise to serie A.
