Game idea:
Two teams with several outfield players and a goalkeeper each shoot the ball into the opponent's goal by attacking skilfully. 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.
In the hall, long benches can also be used as goals. On the one hand, the bench can be turned over and the ball must be played between the seat and the support surface, or on the other hand, the bench can be tilted and a goal is scored when the ball is played against the seat surface.
Playing field:
22 x 42 metres (e.g. handball field or hall wall).
Number of participants:
5:5 (incl. one goalkeeper per team)
Game rules:
The game is opened at the start of each period by a face-off by one team 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 predetermined 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 allowed)
