- We are all aware of the chance to participate in the development of French floorball with the launch of this team and it´s up to us to facilitate the advancement of women´s floorball in France in the right direction. I hope that we will improve our level to be able to make a small place on the international scene.

Pauline began to play floorball after 8 years of roller hockey and she discovered floorball while studying in the Netherlands where it was offered at the University.
