Game idea:
Two teams with several outfield players and a goalkeeper play 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 completely crosses the opponent's goal line.
Playing field:
Unihockey field (14mx21m) separated by boards. Two goals with a goal area (4.5mx3.5m).
Number of participants:
4 against 4 (3 field players plus goalkeeper)
Game rules:
The game begins in each section and after each goal with a face-off in the centre of the field by means of a bully.
The ball may only be played with the stick (except when the ball is advanced with the foot). The goalkeeper plays without a stick and may use his hands to defend or play the ball.
It is forbidden to lunge or swing the stick above hip height. You may not hit the opponent's stick or body with your own stick. Lifting the opponent's stick is also not permitted. A player may not lie down on the ground (maximum 3-point contact). When receiving the ball, at least one foot must touch the ground.
If the ball leaves the playing area, it is brought back into play by the opposing team within the playing area by means of a free hit (exception behind the goal: in this case, the face-off takes place at the next face-off spot from the corner of the playing area). Even after a foul, the free hit is taken at the place of the offence, unless it happened behind the baseline. The opposing players must keep a distance of two metres from each free hit.
