Move leg backwards and back while standing (right) ► kick-back
Power
Individual work
The foot loop of the cable pulley is placed around the training leg (right). In a standing position, facing the cable pulley, the leg is slowly pulled backwards against the weight and returned to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Starting position:
- Stand upright in front of the machine
- Hands on the machine to maintain balance
- Foot loop fixed to the ankle
Finishing position:
- Leg pushed backwards
- Movement from the hips, angle in the knee remains the same
Attention:
Training leg not fully extended.

Push your leg out forwards while standing ► front kick
Power
Individual work
Stand shoulder-width apart, one leg slightly backwards (weaker hand/weaker leg in front), gaze/face forward, upper body slightly rotated (to the side of the stronger leg), arms bent in front of the body, lift one leg alternately or in free rhythm and push off in the direction of gaze (push off/kick movement forwards).
Attention:
Do not fall backwards with your upper body when kicking your leg out.
Lighten:
Kick your leg out less high.
Harden:
Push your leg out higher; add weight to your leg.
Variant:
Load one leg for longer by not putting it down completely (or only supporting it slightly on your toes).

Footwork (locomotion)
Light-Contact
Individual work
The participants practise with commands and corrections from the instructor.
The movement is practised as follows:
The foot at the back in the direction of movement pushes off the floor and the foot at the front is placed 10-15cm in front. The rear foot is then pulled back so that the original starting position is restored. The movement is dynamic, gliding light-footedly over the floor. The movement can also be performed with small flat jumps. It is important to ensure that the movement is always practised in combination with the boxing position.
No material required
Footwork (sideways)
Light-Contact
Partner work
One participant circles the tyre with small readjusting steps, while the second participant tries to stay opposite. The participants take small flat (sideways) steps on the balls of their feet. The distance between the feet is not less than shoulder width. The foot closer to the direction of movement goes first, the second foot is only pulled up to shoulder width. Change roles after a while.
Per group:
1 tyre
Footwork (sideways)
Light-Contact
Partner work
The participants glide sideways from tyre to tyre in a boxing position. One participant leads and the other reacts accordingly and follows their partner.
8-12 tyres
Footwork and tackling
Light-Contact
Partner work
Moving from marker to marker (6 cones) in double cover, taking care not to cross your feet and keeping your legs shoulder-width apart. At the end of the course there is a short fight with the partner (first hit wins). The loser performs two quick squats. Both participants then start the movement exercise from the front (the two lanes are next to each other or opposite each other).
12 marking hats (6 per participant)
Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves
Footwork: slalom
Light-Contact
Individual work
A slalom is run between stakes in double coverage (do not cross your feet but keep them shoulder-width apart).

Example of a possible combination:
- Forward roll
- Jump roll from standing position
- Stand balance
- Stretch jump with half turn
- Backward roll
- Handstand with roll-off
6-8 soft mats (small)
Movement tasks
Forms of play / exercises
Group work
The participants move freely with the ball (forwards, backwards, sideways, with speed variation) in the hall/area, with the sports instructor specifying various movement tasks. The exercises should be performed with both the stronger and the weaker side. Here is a possible selection of exercises:
- Balancing the ball on the racket
- Juggling the ball with the racket (forehand and backhand side as well as racket edge)
- Bouncing the ball on the ground
- Catching/stopping the ball every few steps with the racket in the air as well as on the ground
- Rolling/guiding the ball on the ground
Participant:
1 bat (Smolball)
1 ball (Smolball)

Blitzball - Touchrugby
Games / Tournament
Game idea:
Two teams face each other on a playing field and endeavour to place a rugby ball in the opponent's target area by using their running speed and feinting hooks. The respective ball carrier can be forced by the opposing team to pass the ball backwards to a teammate, who then tries to penetrate the target area.
Scoring points:
A point is scored when an untouched player can place the ball behind the opposite target line in one of the three target areas. The centre target area scores three points, the side fields score 2 points each (indicated by marker cones).
Variant: a large soft mat is placed in the target area (centre); a point is scored by jumping onto the mat.
Playing field:
Field size 50mx34m for 6 players (3 against 3), 70mx48m (12 players), 100mx55m (18 players)
Number of participants:
3 against 3 to 9 against 9, depending on the field size
Rules of the game:
- The game is opened by means of a pass from the centre forward between the straddled legs to the back to a teammate.
- The ball may be carried forwards by any player, but may only be played/passed backwards.
- The player carrying the ball may be forced to pass it by hitting him on the back with his hand. The player in possession of the ball must then pass the ball on the third step or after two seconds at the latest.
- Jostling, clutching and pushing are not permitted, nor is hitting the ball.
- A free throw is awarded for all infringements of the rules, especially if the attacking team passes forwards. The free throw is always taken from the spot where the offence was committed.
- Except for the handshake on the back, Blitzball is played without any form of physical contact.
Blitzball: All against all
Forms of play / exercises
Group work
Two teams play against each other in a given field. The aim is to play as many passes as possible in the team before an opponent can intercept the ball or the ball falls to the ground. Whoever gets a pat on the shoulder from the opponent must pass. If the pass is intercepted or the ball falls to the ground, the ball changes hands and the other team can play the passes. Whoever has played the most passes after a predetermined time wins.
Variant:
10 passes result in one point. If a point is scored, the ball changes hands.

Blitzball: Passing in a circle
Forms of play / exercises
Group work
5-8 participants per group (ideally groups of 6)
Each six participants form an outer front circle and pass a rugby ball around the outside of the circle. Round to the right / round to the left / ditto with two balls (aim: catch up with the other ball).
Per group:
2 rugby balls
Blocking
Light-Contact
Partner work
Presentation by leader.
The groups of 2 then practise the movements (including role reversal); the leader corrects them.
One way of blocking from the basic position is simply to turn out the respective hand and bring it forwards (crosswise) in order to ward off/block the attacker's punch with the palm of the hand (fist against palm).
Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves
Block / evasive manoeuvre with counterattack
Light-Contact
Partner work
Presentation by leader.
The groups of two then practise the movements (including role reversal); the leader corrects. If necessary, an exercise sequence is also performed in the group.
This sequence of movements combines blocking and dodging with a counter (lead hand and punching hand). One participant slowly strikes 4x in the direction of their partner's forehead (2x left/right). The defender blocks the punches twice (left/right) and then dodges twice and simultaneously performs a counter-punch (left/right).
Blocking:
When blocking, the respective hand is turned out from the basic position and brought forward (crosswise) to ward off/block the attacker's punch with the palm of the hand (fist against palm).
Leading hand:
When countering with the leading hand (example left side), the front foot remains stable in place, the weight is shifted to the rear (right) foot (tilt the upper body backwards slightly). To avoid the opponent's punch, the body weight is not only shifted backwards, but the upper body is also tilted to the side (outwards - to the right). Finally, you follow up with your own punch (jab) with the (left) lead hand (on the "inside" side).
Punching hand:
When countering with the punching hand (example right side), you take a step to the (left) side (sidestep), shifting your weight to the front (left) foot. Finally, the own punch (straight) follows with the stronger hand (on the "inner" side).
Exercise:
In groups of 2, the blocking and dodging including the counter punch is practised. This involves blocking and dodging twice on one side and then on the other (lead hand and punching hand). The sequence of movements is practised very slowly at first; the speed can only be increased once the sequence of movements has been completely mastered. The roll can be changed after each pass or after several passes. In order to gain more confidence in the sequence of movements, it is advisable to do several passes in succession. It also makes sense to change partners from time to time (variety and different levels of participants). The instructor can make the exercise more difficult by no longer clearly defining the attacking side (e.g. 2 attacks each to block and evade - side arbitrarily determined by the attacker - change roles - change partners).
Participant A: 2x punch left + right (jab + straight) / Participant B: Block left + right plus dodge with counter (lead hand and punching hand)
Variant:
All participants perform the sequence of movements (= participant B; see above) together (same front - rotate the alignment by 90 degrees after each pass). The instructor counts slowly from 1-4 for the individual steps (block left - block right - dodge incl. counter with the lead hand - dodge incl. counter with the punching hand). The instructor takes the opportunity to make corrections.
Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

Ground contact
Partner acrobatics
Group work
Groups with 3-10 participants
The participants form groups of 3-10 people. The sports leader specifies the number of limbs that may touch the floor within the group. Through skilful acrobatic exercises and a little ingenuity, the groups fulfil the sports leader's specifications.
