A player from team A throws a tennis ball (or if available, the ball is propelled into the field with a baseball bat and a hitting device) or a rugby ball (can also be kicked - either from the air or a team mate holds the ball, which is on the ground) into the playing field (e.g. grass pitch) for the start. The ball must cross a certain line / a defined point high (flying). After the throw, the player enters the obstacle course. Tyres are placed between the obstacles, which act as neutral zones to interrupt the run. Any number of runners may stay in the neutral zones. The team receives one point for each completed run (complete obstacle course). The points are entered on the score sheet by the respective runner after the run. The players of team B try to get the ball to the "burning point" (tyre) as quickly as possible. They are not allowed to run with the ball. Each time the ball falls to the ground (either after team A's throw or between team B's passes), the field team must alternately perform 4 push-ups, 4 trunk bends or 4 stretch jumps before the ball can be returned. If the ball is caught directly by the field team after the throw, the team receives a point, which is noted on the score sheet by the sports director. If a runner is between the obstacles (not at a hoop) at the time when the field team "burns" the ball at the designated spot, he must return to the next neutral zone. If team A has no following thrower, as all other runners are on the obstacle course, the last player of the team has to put the ball into play until a team-mate returns (has completed a run). After a certain time, the teams switch roles.

Variant I:
The basic idea remains the same as described above. One team is in the field, one team completes the obstacle course. However, all additional rules (ball must cross the line in the air and strength exercises when the ball touches the ground) are cancelled. The running team has correspondingly less time to pass the obstacles.
Variant II:
The throwing/punching/kicking team decides for itself how many runners start on a throw/kick. In contrast to the first game form, the last runner in the group is also obliged to start running after his throw/kick. If the team is "starved" as a result, a change is made.
Variant III:
If a runner finds himself between the obstacles when the sports director whistles, he must return to the start and line up in the row of throwers/bats/kickers (or drop out completely and perform additional tasks at the edge of the field). Optionally, it can be defined that only one runner is allowed per tyre.

Off-road obstacle course

Before each use of the HiBa terrain, the elements must be checked for their suitability and the running track must be cleaned/removed of foreign objects. Minimising the risk of injury (e.g. avenging gravel pits on the climbing wall) is the responsibility of the sports manager and has the highest priority

Present the obstacles, including tips on how to pass the obstacles as quickly as possible.

Depending on the size of the group, the participants can overcome the obstacle one by one after the presentation and practise for the first time.

Obstacle course in the terrain

Before each use of the HiBa terrain, the elements must be checked for their suitability and the course must be cleaned/removed of foreign objects. Minimising the risk of injury (e.g. avenging gravel pits on the climbing wall) is the responsibility of the sports manager and has top priority.

All participants complete a few runs without time pressure to familiarise themselves with the obstacle course (minimise the risk of injury). Optionally, participants can complete a timed run to get an initial indication of their time with a view to a possible competition format.

3 stopwatches (optional for stopping the times)

The participant throws a number, the obstacle/obstacles are then completed according to the result:

1. Double beam / crawling net
2. Lion's den / ford
3. Beam obstacle (triple beam) / balancing beam
4. Waaght jump and crawling beam and crawling beams
5. Beam stairs (bear step)
6. Running lane / climbing wall

After passing the obstacle, the participant ticks off the corresponding number on a poster (flipchart). Each obstacle must be completed twice to finish the exercise. This means that a half cross (/) is noted for each participant's start number on the first pass and the cross can be completed on the second pass (x). The dice may be rolled twice. If, after the second roll, you still do not have a number that has not been rolled before, you still have to complete the obstacle again, even though it may already be ticked off (variant: run around the obstacle course or touch a specific point such as a tree). Who is the first to tick off all the numbers on the flipchart? If necessary, adapt the exercise to the time conditions and finish after the first ranks if necessary.

A player from team A throws a tennis ball into the field at the start (or, if available, the ball is propelled into the field with a baseball bat and a batting device). The ball must cross a certain line high (flying). After the throw (hit), the player enters the obstacle course. Tyres are placed between the obstacles, which act as neutral zones to interrupt the run. Any number of runners may stay in the neutral zones. The team receives one point for each completed run (complete obstacle course). The points are entered on the score sheet by the respective runner after the run. The players of team B try to get the ball to the "burning point" as quickly as possible. They are not allowed to run with the ball.

Variant I:
The basic idea remains the same as described above. One team is in the field, one team completes the obstacle course. However, the tennis ball is replaced with a rugby ball and all additional rules (ball must cross the line in the air and strength exercises when the ball touches the ground) are cancelled. This means that the running team has less time to pass the obstacles. At the start, the rugby ball is thrown or kicked (either from the air or by a team mate holding the ball on the ground). Once again, the aim is to complete as many laps as possible in the time available. A caught ball by the field team still scores a point.
Variant II:
The throwing/kicking team decides for itself how many runners run after a throw/kick. In contrast to the first game form, the last runner in the group is also obliged to start running after his throw/kick. If the team is "starved" as a result, a change is made.
Variant III:
If a runner finds himself between the obstacles when the sports director whistles, he must return to the start and line up in the row of throwers/bats/kickers (or drop out completely and perform additional tasks at the edge of the field).

Demonstration of the rope climbing technique by the instructor:

• For the S-wrap technique, grab the rope as high up as possible with your hands (close together), keeping the rope between your thighs. Now wrap the rope around the weak leg. The rope practically runs once around the calf and finally over the foot further down (S-shape). With the other (strong) foot, step on the rope that has been placed on the weak foot and lock it. Support yourself with the tips of your toes to grab the rope again with your hands (one after the other), preferably at the highest point. Now let go of the rope with the foot clamp grip and pull your legs upwards so that your knees and elbows are almost at the same height. You can then lock the rope again with your feet as described above.
• For the J-hook technique, you stand next to the rope at the start. Here too, you then grab the rope as high as possible. Your hands are close together to stabilise your entire body. Now pull your leg up to your chest with the rope running to the left of your body. With your right foot, grab the rope under your left foot and place it on your left foot to secure it. This creates an angle of over 90 degrees in the rope (J-shape). Once the rope is fixed to the foot, reach up again with your hands one at a time and the process starts all over again (you can switch sides).

1-2 soft mats (large)
