A participant stands on a pommel horse. He has his hands stretched out to the side and is holding a volleyball in each hand. The second participant stands approx. 1-2 metres in front of the pommel horse and throws another volleyball to the participant standing on the horse. If the pass goes to the head, the ball is passed back with the head. If the pass comes to the feet, the ball is passed back with the left or right foot (depending on the side of the pass). If the pass comes to one of the outstretched arms, the ball held in the hands must be passed to the partner and the new ball must be caught. The passer can make the exercise easier or more difficult by looking at where the pass is made or not. After a few attempts, the roles are swapped.

► Balance and reaction skills

The sports manager explains the rules of the game form used in the main part to the participants (including organisational information).

Two teams play against each other in a limited playing area. A point is scored if a pass is made to a teammate who has at least one leg in a hoop. The defending team can block a hoop by placing a foot in it so that no points can be scored there (more hoops than defenders are needed for this type of exercise). The right to attack changes either after a certain time or after each loss of the ball or disc. The rules of the respective game form naturally apply (e.g. Smolball, Intercrosse/Lacrosse, Floorball, Frisbee Ultimate, Howler).

Variant I:
The exercise form can be played with all balls, throwing discs or game equipment. The throwing/passing technique or passing technique can be specified.
Variant II:
Use more than one ball.

Participant:
1 stick/stick ►Intercrosse/Lacross, Smolball, Floorball

1-3 balls ►Basketball, Blitzball/Touchrugby, Frisbee Ultimate, FooBaSKILL, Futsal/Football, Handball, Intercrosse/Lacross, Smolball, Tchoukball, Floorball
4 marking cones/caps ►Field markings (optional)
x hoops
x playing ribbons/rubbers ►Team identification

The participant hops over the tyres distributed on the floor. If two hoops are at the same height, both legs are used. Individual hoops are passed with the leg corresponding to the respective side. The hoops can be jumped through forwards or backwards. To make hoop jumping more difficult, the respective arm on the same or even opposite side can be lifted or stretched to the side at the same time when standing.

► Rhythmisation ability, orientation ability, balance ability

20-30 tyres

Post set-up:
Lay out the tyres to form a jumping course.

The first participant in the group runs (alone) to the turnaround, slips through a tyre there and runs back to the group. Now the first participant runs with the second participant (holding hands) to the turning point, where they have to slip through the tyre again. The hands must not be released. This scenario is repeated until the entire group has slipped through the hoop (together with constant hand grasping). After this round, the first participant (who has travelled the longest so far) is allowed to disengage and the remaining group members continue the exercise. Finally, only the participant who was the last to join the group runs. At the end, all participants in the group have completed the same number of runs. Which group was the first to complete the task?

Per group:
2 colouring sticks
1 tyre

Two participants stand opposite each other in a hoop and grab each other by the hands or forearms. They try to push or pull their opponent out of the hoop. The first person to touch the ground outside the tyre loses.

2 tyres

The sports manager plans a reserve in the main part so that there is certainly no lack of time (e.g. additional breaks are necessary, postponement time could take longer, post changes are less speedy, etc.).

Transport your comrade from one fanjon to another (Gamstrage grip) using the transport techniques from the regulations for self-help and comrade assistance (59.005).

Attention:
The back must be straight when lifting the comrade.

Material per participant: Tenue CNG 428

Additional material: 2 fanjons

The front runners compete against each other (the group can determine the order of the runners accordingly) and collect points for their group. The runners choose between reversal points at different distances (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cones). More risk (further distance) is rewarded with more points (3 points, 2 points, 1 point), but only the first to arrive receives the points scored, the rest go home empty-handed only the first two (or more, depending on the number of groups, e.g. the first two teams) receive points. Which group has the most points after a run (each group member completes one run), or which group is the first to score a number of points? Each run only starts at the signal of the game leader.

Possible forms of locomotion:
- four-footed forwards/backwards
- in a push-up position with a partner holding the legs up
- gamstrage grip

Per group:
4 colouring sticks

From a standing position, roll backwards and place your feet on the floor behind your hands as quickly and as close as possible to return to a standing position. Curl your upper body like a turtle shell during the entire rolling movement from the top of your head to your tailbone. Roll over the upper back and shoulders and not over the head.

The participants practise the form of movement independently using series of pictures or based on the instructor's demonstration of the exercise. The instructor (or a partner) gives feedback, provides support and checks that the exercise is being performed correctly.

Roll backwards from an upright position, placing your feet on the floor as quickly and as close as possible behind your hands. Curl your upper body like a turtle shell during the entire rolling movement from the top of your head to your tailbone. Roll over the upper back and shoulders and not over the head. At the end of the roll, push your body into a handstand (full body stretch). The arms can be bent at first and then stretched or remain stretched throughout the movement. From the handstand, place the legs on the floor to return to the standing position.

In order to be able to perform this sequence of movements, it is necessary to be able to roll forwards and backwards, have appropriate support in the arms and master the tilt kick movement.

The participants practise the form of movement independently using series pictures or based on the demonstration of the exercise by the sports leader. The sports instructor (or a partner) gives feedback, provides support and checks that the exercise is being performed correctly.

The two rolls are performed one after the other:

Roll fw:
From an upright standing position, perform a forward roll and land back on your feet without using your hands to stand up.

Roll rw:
From a standing position, roll backwards and place your feet on the floor as quickly and as close as possible behind your hands to return to a standing position. Curve the upper body from the top of the head to the tailbone like a tortoise shell during the entire rolling movement. Roll over the upper back and shoulders and not over the head.

Lay on your side, stretch your legs and arms and lift them slightly off the floor. Pull your navel towards your spine and consciously tense your abdomen and then change your side position without changing your body position (roll alternately to the right or left side).

Attention:

Lighten:
Just hold the position with your arms and legs raised and switch sides from time to time.

Harden:
Add weight to your arms and/or legs.
