Two participants line up in the centre of a mat/lawn area and try to push each other off a mat/lawn area. The participants each hold a tennis ball in their hands. The tennis balls restrict the participants in their fighting behaviour, which should prevent scratches and/or abrasions. The first person to put a foot next to the court loses.

9 soft mats (small) ► indoor version
4 tennis balls

4 marking cones/caps ► indoor and outdoor version

Indoor post set-up:
form a rectangular mat field using soft mats.

Indoor/outdoor post set-up:
define a rectangular field using caps.

Two participants sit opposite each other in a suspended position (legs and upper body raised off the floor, only the buttocks touch the floor, arms possibly crossed in front of the body). With the support of their legs, the participants try to unbalance their opponent. As soon as a participant touches the floor with their back, hands or feet, they lose. The competition can be performed with or without permanent contact between the legs/feet.

Caution:
Despite any fatigue, a hollow back position must be avoided (actively tense the torso).

No material required

The game is played with the ball in the hands. Swedish boxes act as goals. When a group has scored a goal, they can take away one of the opponent's goal boxes to make it smaller. The winner is the group that scores a goal on the last box element.

You are not allowed to move with the ball. The opposing team tries to intercept the ball. If they succeed, the roles change. Ball changes also occur when the ball falls to the ground, the ball leaves the playing field or, if necessary, after a point is scored.

Swedish boxes act as goals. When a group has scored a goal, they can take away a box element from the opposing goal so that this goal becomes smaller. The winner is the group that scores a goal on the last box element.

The following rules apply to the game form:

• The ball, which is balanced on the stick, may be carried a maximum of 4 steps and must then be passed immediately.
• The ball may be touched a maximum of 4 times before it is played on.
• The ball at rest on the stick, without movement of the player, may be held for a maximum of 4 seconds.
• The ball may not be covered with the racket or the body, but must be played on immediately.
• It is not permitted to actively play the ball with the foot or lower leg, with the hand, the arm or the head (free hit).
• If the ball leaves the field of play, it is put back into play by a free hit by the opposing team at the place of action.

In the terrain, the sports director distributes the controls in advance, which the participants run to individually or in small groups during the scorelace. For this purpose, the participants receive a control overview and a running map. Each control gives a certain number of points. Logically, the easier, obvious controls score the fewest points. The scorelace can be run both as an exercise and as a competition. It is worth staggering both variants so that each participant/group has to work independently and cannot simply follow a runner/group in front (note the time intervals/difference to the first start time on the run card for the evaluation). The control overview with the running map can either be handed out together with the start signal or distributed to the runners/groups a certain time before the start. The participants collect as many points as possible in the time provided. Points will be deducted if they are late at the finish (e.g. 5 points deducted for every minute started after the agreed finish time).

Variant:
Prepare the post transfer point: The participants do not receive a map on which the controls are already marked, but must mark the controls themselves at a control transfer point (e.g. using coordinates, azimuth or measuring point method). The control sheets remain at the start even after the transfer. Before the participants set off on the course, the sports director checks the marked controls.

Orienteering controls (to be unplugged)
1 stopwatch

Participant/group:
1 orienteering map with control overview incl. designation and scoring (prepared in advance by the sports director)

A marker cone is located at the reversal point, which must be circled 15 times. During the turns, both hands grasp the cone (alternatively, the head can also be placed on the hands). The group counts the number of laps out loud and calls the runner back after the last turn, who probably tries to reach the group while staggering to send the next runner onto the course.

Releases: Run over a line (with a handshake), through a gate, around the group with a handshake (on the back), crawl through the legs of the next runner, hand over an object, etc.

Per group:
2 marking cones

The runners run to the reversal point equipped with a Smolball stick, floorball/intercrosse stick or Nordic walking stick. At the turning point, the stick/stick is held vertically to the ground. Then make 15 rotations (as quickly as possible) around the stick/stick. During the rotations, both hands hold the stick/stick blade and the head is placed on the upper hand. The group counts the number of turns out loud and, after the last turn, calls the runner back, who probably tries to reach the group while staggering, in order to hand the stick/stick to the next runner and send them on their way.

Per group:

► Exercise only suitable in the gym!
Trainee: Pulls their partner towards them by pulling on the rope/rope. As soon as both participants are in the same position, the trainee distances themselves until the rope/rope is stretched to its full length so that they can pull their partner towards them again.
Partner: Stands in a squatting position (stable torso; stomach tensed) on the carpet remnants and holds on to the end of the rope/rope.

Attention:
Both participants ensure a straight back.

Lighten:
Lighter partner.

Harden:
Heavier partner (partner with additional weight).

1 rope/rope
2 carpet remnants

1 weight waistcoat ► to make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)

All participants stuff a rope down the back of their trousers so that half of the halved rope hangs out visibly. Each participant then tries to grab as many ropes as possible. Even those who have no more rope continue to take part in the game. A playing field limit that may not be exceeded can be set if necessary. The winner is the player who has grabbed the most ropes at the end.

Variant:
Whoever loses their rope is eliminated and performs an additional exercise at the edge of the playing field (e.g. forearm support or wall sitting). From time to time, the playing field is reduced in size (as the number of participants decreases). Who can hold on to their rope until the end?

Per participant:
1 skipping rope

4 marking cones/caps ►Field boundary (optional)

Two participants swing the rope (2-3 skipping ropes knotted together). One participant goes to the centre from one side, jumps over the rope a few times and runs out on the other side. The jumper runs behind the swinger and returns to the centre. The jumper thus moves in the shape of an eight. Once the participant has completed a few rounds, the positions are swapped.

Attention:
Depending on the direction of the swing, there is an easier and more difficult side to get to the centre.

Variant I:
In the centre, try to pick up an object (e.g. a hat or a coin) and put it down again.
Variant II:
Start in the centre, starting position sitting or in the push-up position. In these positions, try to jump over the rope as it swings past.

Per group:
2-3 skipping ropes or 1 rope/rope

1 marking cone ►Variant

At the start, a dice is rolled to determine how many jumps must be performed with the skipping rope at the reversal point (e.g. number of dice x 5 = number of jumps). After rolling the dice, the runner runs to the reversal point and performs the number of jumps determined by the dice before being allowed to return to the group to hand over to the next runner, who in turn defines the number of jumps with the dice.

Per group:
1 skipping rope
1 dice
2 colouring sticks

At a signal from the instructor, the participants switch from leisurely rope jumping to very fast rope jumping on the spot until the instructor gives another signal. The exercise is repeated a few times to increase the heart rate several times.

Variant:
Pull the knees up to the navel while jumping rope (skipping) or supplement the rope jumping with other short intensive exercises (e.g. integrate a push-up and a stretch jump on a signal).

Participant:
1 skipping rope

Skipping in place, alternating between bringing one leg to the ground and lifting the other leg up to navel height with the knee (skipping).

2 skipping ropes (one rope per participant)

Stand upright on the balls of your feet with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a skipping rope in your hands. Continuous hopping in place and simultaneous swinging of the rope (under the feet and overhead). Make sure that the heels are not completely off the ground (jumping on the balls of the feet/tips of the toes). The upper body should always remain upright while jumping (keep the torso tensed).

Jumping rope with low intensity (slow swinging, also incorporate breaks) is suitable for stimulating the circulation. By integrating different jumping forms, jumping can be made more varied through variation (e.g. double jumps, crossing arms, alternating left/right heel taps on the floor, straddle jumps, jumping in step position, alternating jumps, etc.). Pulling the tips of your feet towards your knees with each jump (bending your feet) is another way to vary your jumping.

Stand upright on the balls of your feet with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a skipping rope in your hands. Continuous hopping in place and simultaneous swinging of the rope (under the feet and overhead). Make sure that the heels are not completely off the ground (jumping on the balls of the feet/tips of the toes). The upper body should always remain upright during jumping (keep the torso tensed).

Jumping rope at high intensity (fast swinging) is a good way to get the heart rate up at the end of the warm-up (e.g. 8 x 20-second workload and 10-second break phase or 3 x 30-second workload with 1-minute break). The two-legged hopping can also be converted into a race on the spot (skipping) to further increase the intensity.

1 skipping rope

The two positions are changed at each round.

Position 1:
Skipping rope by jumping on the spot with both legs.

Position 2:
Holding a medicine ball with both hands in front of the chest in a stepping position (staggered stance). Push the ball to the ground with one arm (side can be varied) and catch it again with both hands. After each kick, shift position slightly without crossing your legs and then kick the ball towards the floor again.

Several groups of two line up in one or two rows (outward and return journey) and form one or two tunnels, so to speak. A distance of approx. 5 metres is maintained between the pairs. The rest of the participants line up in a column in front of the first group of two. The jumpers choose a swing direction and a rhythm together and then try to cross the tunnel. One swing direction is much easier. The aim is for the entire group to pass through the tunnel with/without intermediate jumps and, above all, without any interruptions/errors between the jumpers. The positions of the swimmers and runners are changed from time to time.

Per group of 2:
2-3 skipping ropes or 1 rope/rope

Two participants stretch a rope between them (holding the rope in their hands) and stand facing each other at a distance of approx. 3-4 metres. The participants try to pull their opponent over the centre line (or the opponent/the centre of the rope over a certain line). Whoever is pulled over the line first loses.
