Futsal
Game idea:
Two teams with several outfield players and a goalkeeper each shoot the ball into the opponent's goal through skilful attacking. Good defensive behaviour should prevent the opponent from scoring goals.
Scoring:
A goal is scored when the ball crosses the opponent's goal line in its entirety.
Pitch:
22 x 42m (e.g. handball court or incl. hall walls).
Number of participants:
5 against 5 (incl. one goalkeeper per team).
Rules of the game:
The game is opened at the start of each period by a team taking a face-off in the centre of the field. The same applies after a goal has been scored, whereby the team that has conceded a goal has the right to kick-off. The ball may be played with any part of the body except the arms. Inside the penalty area, the goalkeeper may take the ball in his hands.
Any physical contact is considered a foul. Tackling - regardless of whether the ball is played or not - is also prohibited and results in a free kick for the opposing team. After a specified number of fouls (adapted to the length of the game), the opposing team is awarded a penalty for each additional foul (variation: a penalty is awarded after three fouls, after which the number of fouls is reset to zero).
If a player kicks the ball out of bounds over a touchline, the opposing team gains possession of the ball. The ball is put back into play with a "kick-in" (no direct shots on goal are allowed).

Scoring:
A goal is scored when the ball crosses the opponent's goal line in its entirety.
Pitch:
120 x 90m (maximum), or 90 x 45m (minimum).
Number of participants:
11 against 11 (including one goalkeeper per team); the team size can also be adjusted downwards depending on the size of the pitch available for lessons.
Rules of the game:
The game is opened at the beginning of each period by a team kick-off in the centre of the field. The same applies after a goal has been scored, whereby the team that has conceded a goal has the right to kick-off. The ball may be played with any part of the body except the arms. Within the penalty area (rectangular area with a width of 16.50 metres from the respective post and an equal depth), the goalkeeper may take the ball in his hands. Handball and fouls (holding, clutching, punching, pushing, putting the leg down, kicking the legs, leaning, etc.) outside the penalty area are penalised with a direct free kick for the opposing team (i.e. possession of the ball at a distance of 9m from the opponent). If the offence takes place inside the penalty area, the opposing team is awarded a penalty from a distance of 11m from the goal.
If a player kicks the ball out over a touchline, the opposing team is awarded a throw-in, whereby the ball is thrown back into the field to a team-mate with a two-handed throw over the head from outside the touchline. If the ball leaves the field of play over the outer goal line, a goal kick is taken in front of the goal (last touch of the ball by the attacker) or a corner kick (last touch of the ball by the defender), depending on who touched the ball last.
