First steps
Coordination exercises
Individual work
Once you have mastered the basic position, you can try your first steps. It is important to feel the strap with the forefoot before putting the whole foot down. This means you don't have to look at the strap to know where it is. Before you remove the back foot from the strap, you should place it on your toes to shift your centre of gravity to the front foot.
Easier:
Stretch the slackline tightly over a short distance (3-5m); help a partner by holding their hand (always go with the balancing movement and only stabilise when the slackliner is almost falling).
Harder:
Walk backwards; stretch the slackline over a long distance.
1 Slackline
Buttock rocker ► buttbounce
Coordination exercises
Individual work
Fasten the slackline over a long distance (12-15m) at a height of approx. 1m. Sit in an upside-down position so that your eyes and shoulders are aligned with the end point. From this position, rock downwards and upwards, with the momentum coming from the arms. You can touch the ground with your feet, but you should not actively push off, as the energy should come from the slackline.
Lighten the load:
Help a partner by holding their hand; a helper pushes the slackline down slightly while bobbing.
1 Slackline
Straddle jump
Floor and apparatus gymnastics






Frontal run-up onto the mini trampoline (from the long bench), one-legged horizontal jump from the run to the two-legged jump on the trampoline vertically into the air.
Grab jump:
Launch with arm pull forwards upwards, legs stretched out as horizontally as possible forwards after the push-off and touch the feet with the hands (if mobility allows). Extend the body again and come to a safe stance.
The participants practise the form of movement independently using series pictures or based on the demonstration of the exercise by the sports leader. The instructor (or a partner) gives feedback, provides support and checks that the exercise is being performed correctly.

Basic position
Coordination exercises
Individual work
Before attempting the first steps, you should be able to stand on the slackline on just one leg for 5-10 seconds. This has the advantage that you can balance with the second leg. Both the left and right leg must be trained.
Pay attention to the following points:
- Looking forwards;
- Arms above shoulder height;
- Feet straight on the slackline;
- Knees slightly bent;
- Hips upright.
Easing:
Perform the exercise close to the attachment; stretch the slackline taut over a short distance (3-5m); sit a partner in the middle of the slackline to dampen the initial shaking; help a partner by holding their hand (always go with the balancing movement and only stabilise if the slackliner is about to fall).
Hardening:
Cross your arms (in front of your stomach, behind your back or over your head)
1 Slackline
Half turn
Coordination exercises
Individual work
In the starting position, the front foot is turned inwards and the back foot is straight on the band. Your body weight is on the front foot. Now turn the back foot 180 degrees and simultaneously change your gaze in a quick movement (similar to a pirouette).
Lighten up:
Help a partner by holding their hand (always go with the balancing movement and only stabilise if the slackliner is about to fall).
1 Slackline
Handstand with roll-off
Floor and apparatus gymnastics












Start in an upright position, swing the arms and swing leg forwards, place the hands wide in front, push off with the standing leg, close the legs to stretch the whole body in a handstand (body tension), look down, bend the arms and hips, bring the chin to the chest, roll over the neck and back, squat the legs, stand up from the seat (without using the hands) to a safe standing position.
Variant:
Practise handstand against a wall beforehand, then with the support of a partner (holding the legs).
The participants practise the movement form independently using series pictures or based on the demonstration of the exercise by the instructor. The sports instructor (or a partner) gives feedback, provides support and checks that the exercise is being performed correctly.

turf field
squat
Coordination exercises
Individual work
Standing upright, place the front foot straight and the back foot with the forefoot on the slackline (about one foot length apart). In this position, bend your knees until you can sit with your buttocks on your heels.
Easier:
Perform the exercise close to the attachment.
Harder:
Touch the slackline with one hand (line grab); stand up again from the squat, take a step forwards and squat down again (other forefoot).

Juggler
Coordination exercises
Individual work
The participants try to juggle with different utensils:
- Juggling one-handed with 2 balls or two-handed with 3 balls (tennis balls, foam balls, floorball balls, possibly even frisbees). Also possible standing on a balancing board.
- Holding juggling scarves in the air.
- Holding a badminton shuttle with the racket in the air while sitting down and standing up. Perform half and full body rotations while juggling. The same exercise can be performed with the Indiaca.
- Throw the foam ball into the air or against a wall and catch it with the frisbee. Throw the foam ball to each other in pairs and catch it with the frisbee.
Make it easier:
Juggling can be practised on an inclined surface (e.g. door of the equipment room/garage door; small mats set up at an angle). The balls are not thrown straight up into the air, but onto the sloping surface. This gives the participant more time to learn the basic movement.
