Game idea:
The game idea is similar to that of baseball. Two teams, a kicker and a catcher, try to score as many points as possible during a certain period of time.

Scoring points:
A point is scored when a run is successfully completed. If necessary, points are also awarded for successfully caught balls.

Playing field:
Can be adapted to the available possibilities.

Number of participants:
10 against 10

Game rules:
One player of the kick team plays the ball from the kick zone into the catch zone (throwing or kicking). He then runs around the pitch back into the kicking zone. Meanwhile, the catcher tries to catch the ball and bring it to their "nest" as quickly as possible. The ball must be passed from catcher to catcher, as it is not allowed to run with the ball. As soon as the ball is placed in the "nest", a loud whistle sounds from the game leader. A run is successful if the runner is back in the kick zone before the whistle sounds (the ball is in the "nest"). The run markers are neutral points where the runner can interrupt his run and wait for the next kick. If a runner is not at a run mark when the referee blows his whistle, he must return to the kick zone without having scored a point for his team.

If the ball is caught directly out of the air by the catching team, they are awarded a point and the runner must return to the kick zone.

Variant:
If a runner is found between the running marks when the referee whistles, he is completely eliminated from the game so that the kicking team becomes smaller (provide additional tasks).

On 2 or more pitches, 7 attackers play against 4 defenders. The attackers try to play 20 passes, for example. The defenders simultaneously aim to touch an attacker who is in possession of the ball. If they succeed, the game starts again. After 5 attempts, switch functions.

Objective: free running, accurate passing, cover work, anticipation.

Pitch:
4 armbands / covers
1 rugby ball

Two teams are formed (3-4 players). One team rolls a ball to itself as often as possible. The opposing team tries to capture the ball and make lots of passes. Whoever has the ball is not allowed to move. Who will be the first to make ten passes in a row?

Objective: free running, precise passing, cover work, anticipation.

Pitch:
4 armbands / covers
1 rugby ball

Game idea:
One team throws the ball and calls out the colour of one of the other teams. The other team must catch the ball before it hits the ground. The aim of the game is, of course, to throw the ball to the other team so that they cannot catch it before it hits the ground.

Scoring:

• If the receiving team drops the ball, the other 2 teams each get a point.
• If the serving team (or the serving team itself) makes a mistake, the other two teams each score one point.

Court:
The entire hall (maximum 21m x 21m). The walls, ceiling and objects in the sports hall (basketball hoop, etc.) are not part of the playing field and must be considered off.

Number of participants:
4:4:4

Playing rules:
The serving team determines the team that must receive the ball. Before the serve is executed, the serving player must call out the word "Omnikin" followed by the colour of the opposing team of their choice. Only then may he hit the ball upwards or horizontally with one or both arms. The ball must fly at least 1.8 metres. The team whose colour was called out loud becomes the receiving team and must control the ball before it touches the ground. You can control the ball with any part of your body without catching or holding it. If the ball is only touched by one or two players when it is received, they may move onto the pitch by holding the ball in their hands or by passing the ball to each other. In this way, they can thwart the opponents' defence on the next serve. As soon as three players of the team have touched the ball, the ball must be stopped. At this point, the ball must be served again.

If a mistake is made, the referee whistles and stops the game. The referee places the ball where the mistake was made and gives it to the team that made the mistake. The other two teams are awarded one point each.

Faults are awarded if

• the bouncing player hits the ball directly out of bounds (the ball touches a wall, the ceiling or any other object in the sports hall (basketball hoop, light, bench).
• the ball is hit with a downward trajectory.
• the ball does not fly at least 1.8 metres.
• the same player serves the ball twice in succession.
• the ball is not touched by 3 players during the serve.

The game lasts until one team has won 3 periods (maximum 7 periods in total). One period lasts 7 minutes.

Divide the group into three teams: one team in the centre, the other two to the right and left. The teams at the far end pass the ball to each other, the team in the centre must try to intercept it. The team whose pass is blocked must go to the centre. Who is least in the middle?

Variations:

• Before passing the ball over the centre, pass the ball three times within the team.
• Increase the intensity with a second ball.

Pitch:
1 Kin-Ball

Divide the group into two teams, one attacking, the other defending. One after the other, the players on the attacking team throw the ball into the defence zone. After the throw-in, they run from one base to the next and can stop to avoid being "burnt".

If a player is not on a base, he is "burnt" if the defence team catches the ball and puts it in the hoop. Each completed turn scores a point for the attackers.

Variations:

• Defence team: make three passes before putting the ball in the hoop.
• Burn the bases (baseball).
• Run multiple players.
• Slap the ball instead of throwing it in (cell formed by two players).

Pitch:
1 Kin-Ball

Four teams of three to four players are formed. Two teams are on the court, the other two on the bench, ready to return to the game.

The game lasts until the ball touches the ground in the opponent's half, or until the offensive team makes a mistake (ball goes out of bounds, descending serve).

The team that makes the mistake is replaced by one of the two on the bench. The team that stays wins a point. The team that scores the most points wins the crown.

Variations:

• With two balls, divide the court lengthwise. The game is played 3:3 using the same system.
• A joker always supports the team in possession of the ball

Pitch:
3-4 game ribbons / overcoats
1 Kin ball

Form four teams of four players or more and divide the hall into four areas. The ball is hit clockwise from one team to the other.

At the time of the hit, three players touch the ball and a fourth hits it. A team scores a point when the ball touches the ground in the opponent's zone.

Variations:

• Play with two balls.
• The team in possession of the ball decides where to hit the ball.
• Announce the colour of the team that receives the ball (see Haids

Pitch:
3-4 playing ribbons / covers
1 Kin ball

Two participants stand on the same slackline. The one who manages to stay up longer receives a point. Who has 5 wins first?

Easier:
Another participant sits in the centre of the slackline.

Easier:
The participants position themselves closer together in the centre of the slackline.

Climbing on the rope is used to test fitness and coordination skills. The aim is to test agility and technique on the climbing pole by measuring time.

Execution rules

Facility:

A rope with a mark 4.5 m above the ground. A small (or large) soft mat is placed on both sides of the rope.

Execution:

Contestants are free to climb with or without shoes. The participant may not touch the rope before the start. From the start command of the test leader, the participant climbs up the rope (climbing on two ropes is prohibited) to the 4.5 m mark. Touching the marker is sufficient for the time to be stopped.
Tip: It is recommended to jump off as high as possible with both legs at the start. The most common variants for climbing on the rope are the S-wrap and the J-hook technique. In the S-wrap technique, you grab the rope with your hands (close together) as high up as possible, 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. The rope can then be locked again with the feet as described above. With the J-hook technique, you stand next to the rope at the start. Here too, you then grab the rope as high as possible. The hands are close together, which stabilises the entire body. Now pull your leg up to your chest, with the rope running to the left of your body. With the right
foot, grab the rope under the left foot and place it on the 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, you grab it again with your hands one at a time and the process starts all over again (you can switch sides).

Attempts:

Three, the best attempt is scored.

Measurement:

The time from the start command until the participant touches the 4.

Control:

The test leader ensures that the competitor does not touch the rope before the start command. From the start command, the test leader lets the time run until the participant touches the 4.5 m mark.
The result is recorded directly electronically or transferred later from an evaluation sheet to an electronic device.

Climbing on the vertical pole is used to test physical condition and coordination skills. The aim is to test dexterity and technique on the climbing pole by measuring time.

Execution rules

Facility:

Vertical climbing pole with a mark 5 metres above the ground. A small soft mat is placed on both sides of the pole.

Execution:

The participants are free to climb with or without shoes. The participant may not touch the pole before the start. From the start command of the test leader, the participant climbs up the vertical pole (climbing on two poles is prohibited) to the 5 m mark. Touching the marker is sufficient for the time to be stopped.
Tip: It is recommended to jump off as high as possible with both legs at the start. The most common techniques for climbing the pole are either to press the instep of the back leg and the sole of the front leg or both soles of the feet against the pole.

Attempts:

Three, the best attempt is scored.

Measurement:

The time from the start command until the participant touches the 5 m mark is measured to the nearest 1/10 of a second (round the result mathematically).

Control:

The test leader ensures that the participant does not touch the climbing pole before the start command. From the start command, the test leader lets the time run until the participant touches the 5 m mark.
The result is recorded directly electronically or transferred later from an evaluation sheet to an electronic device.

The rope is climbed up to the mark, with the S-wrap and J-hook techniques being the most common climbing methods. In the S-wrap technique, you grab the rope with your hands (close together) as high up as possible, keeping the rope between your thighs. The rope is then wrapped 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. The rope can then be locked again with the feet as described above. With the J-hook technique, you stand next to the rope at the start. Here too, you then grab the rope as high as possible. The hands are close together, which stabilises the entire body. Now pull your leg up to your chest, with the rope running to the left of your body. With the right
foot, grab the rope under the left foot and place it on the 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).

Harden:
