Simple coordination exercises with racket and ball are suitable for tennis beginners:

• Balance the ball on the racket (in motion).

• Balance the ball at eye level on the racket (in motion).

• Push the ball up from the bottom to the top with the forehand face of the racket.

• Push the ball up from the bottom to the top with the backhand face of the racket.

• Push the ball up from the bottom to the top alternately with the forehand and backhand faces of the racket. After each pass (forehand/backhand), optionally play the ball upwards once with your free hand.

• Bounce the ball upwards with the forehand face of the racket (without the ball hitting the ground).

• Bounce the ball upwards with the backhand face of the racket (without the ball hitting the ground).

• Bounce the ball upwards alternately with the forehand and backhand faces of the racket (without the ball hitting the ground).

• Bounce the ball upwards twice with the racket, let the ball hit the ground and bounce it upwards twice again.

• Bounce the ball upwards with the racket, after a few touches try to play the ball upwards with the frame.

• Bounce the ball downwards (in motion - always keep the racket above the ball).

With partner:

• Player 1 plays the ball upwards, the next ball is played upwards by the partner.

• Player 1 plays the ball upwards, the partner lets the ball hit the ground before playing the ball upwards.

• Player 1 bounces the ball, the next ball is bounced by the partner.

• 2 players pass the ball to each other along a line, but the ball is first caught with the free hand before being returned. In the first phase, let the ball hit the ground and pass it back, then pass the ball directly from the air to your partner.

• 2 players pass the ball to each other along a line (forehand/backhand/alternating forehand and backhand).

Per participant:
1 tennis racket

Exercises with a throw-off or lead-off by the leader are suitable for technical aspects of training.

Teaching the forehand and backhand technique:

• Exercise 1: the player drops balls and the leader holds the player's racket, so the player has to take a high loop, swing under the leader's racket and hit the ball to the other side.

• Exercise 2: as above, but the leader leaves the racket as an aid and drops the balls again.

• Exercise 3: the leader passes balls to the player, who must perform the same stroke sequence from the movement to the ball.

• Exercise 4: the leader plays from the opposite side with the racket and the player performs the same stroke sequence (further distance).

In this type of test, it is important that the participants try to cover the same distance in the specified time for each interval.

The test form can be carried out as follows:

• Round track: To ensure that the participants have enough space available for the run, they can be spread out on the round track at the start. The load starts from the same starting point for each individual runner for each repetition. During the breaks, the participants return to their starting point. This allows participants to check/calculate the distance travelled after each interval. The sports director has all participants in view and can therefore start or stop the intervals with a signal.
• Distance of at least 700 metres: Distances are marked with signs (every 25-50 metres). Each participant receives a stop/pulse watch, runs the course independently and memorises the distance covered (it is possible to stagger the start of the participants). After the break time has elapsed, the participants run the distance they ran back to the starting point. During the breaks, the participants wait in place or continue running at a relaxed trot, but return to the starting point in good time (end of the previous interval). If the course allows, the sports director can give the start/stop signal for all participants (no staggering possible).
  Variant: If you only have a short course available, you must turn around at the end of the course and continue running in the opposite direction until the end of the load time. At the next interval, the participants run the distance they ran earlier in the opposite direction back to the starting point.
• Longer-distance circuit: The distances are marked with signs (every 25-50 metres). Each participant receives a stop/pulse watch, runs the course independently and calculates the distance travelled (no staggered start of the participants necessary). During the breaks, the participants wait in place or continue running at a relaxed trot until the end of the break time. For each interval, the participants must calculate the distance travelled based on the start/end point of the interval. After the last interval, all runners return to the starting point, which takes additional time.

After each interval, participants either have the option of writing down the distance covered (writing materials available on the track or on Mann) or memorising the four distances to write them down at the end of the test. The distances covered per interval are noted and totalled.

To evaluate the test, the distances covered for the four intervals are totalled. The result is noted down and can be compared with the next test. It is also worth dividing the result by the number of intervals (4) so that you have a comparative value for the individual intervals for the next test.

The hoops are placed on the ground at a certain distance (approx. 10-15 metres) in front of the two groups in a square (3x3). Each group has three bibs, which they can distribute in the hoops. One bib may be carried per run. If a group manages to distribute the bibs in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) in the hoops, they win the game. If a group has deposited the three bibs in the hoops, but the game has not yet been decided, the next runner can move a bib (of their own colour) that is already in place to continue the game and possibly win it.

Pitch:
9 hoops (optional: 4 ropes to mark the pitches)

Per group:
3 bibs (or 3 identical items such as marking hats, IVP, bag knife)
1 colouring stick

Three players (A, B and C) pass the ball/throwing disc to each other in a confined space. A fourth player (D) tries to intercept the ball/disc. If player D is able to catch the ball/disc, he swaps places with the player who made the mistake. If an attacking player makes a mistake (e.g. leaving the boundary of the court with the ball/disc, inaccurate pass so that the ball/disc leaves the court), they must also assume the role of defender.

Variant:
Players B and C must always pass to player A.

All participants help to set up the workplace (the hall or the grounds) together.

Note: If not all participants are needed for the conversion, the participants who are not deployed can use the time for a (drinking) break.

Game idea:
Two teams with several outfield players and a goalkeeper play the ball into the opponent's goal through skilful attacking. Good defensive behaviour should prevent the opponent from scoring goals.

Scoring:
A goal is scored when the ball completely crosses the opponent's goal line.

Playing field:
Unihockey field (14mx21m) separated by boards. Two goals with a goal area (4.5mx3.5m).

Number of participants:
4 against 4 (3 field players plus goalkeeper)

Game rules:
The game begins in each section and after each goal with a face-off in the centre of the field by means of a bully.

The ball may only be played with the stick (except when the ball is advanced with the foot). The goalkeeper plays without a stick and may use his hands to defend or play the ball.

It is forbidden to lunge or swing the stick above hip height. You may not hit the opponent's stick or body with your own stick. Lifting the opponent's stick is also not permitted. A player may not lie down on the ground (maximum 3-point contact). When receiving the ball, at least one foot must touch the ground.

If the ball leaves the playing area, it is brought back into play by the opposing team within the playing area by means of a free hit (exception behind the goal: in this case, the face-off takes place at the next face-off spot from the corner of the playing area). Even after a foul, the free hit is taken at the place of the offence, unless it happened behind the baseline. The opposing players must keep a distance of two metres from each free hit.

Two teams of 3-4 players play against each other. A goal scored only counts if all players have touched the ball in succession. The same player may not score two goals in succession.

Objective: Good free running, accurate passing.

Per pitch:
2 floorball goals
1 floorball

Pro Tn:
1 floorball stick

2 teams play against each other. One group has its goals (raised boxes) in the corners of the pitch, the other in the centre of the hall (1-2 mats). The aim is to put as many balls as possible into the goals or onto the mat for the opposing team. Only one ball is allowed per run. Which team will have fewer balls in/on their goal after 2 minutes

Objective: ball control during the run, looking away from the ball, developing a game strategy

Pitch:
1 vaulting box
2 soft mats (small)
Uni hockey balls

Participant:
1 floorball stick

Simple standard pass and shot exercise: The players stand in both corners next to the goal. The foremost player runs in a high arc into the centre in front of the goal (around the marker stick). There he receives the ball from the other side and shoots (at the height of the two cones). The passer runs up next and shoots at the goal.

Variations:

• Shooting at the empty goal or whoever has shot then stands in the goal themselves.

• The sports leader can demand different types of shots (direct shots are also possible).

Per group:
1 Floorball goal
Hockey balls
4 hats (incl. starting markers)
1 colouring stick

Per Tn:
