Handball

Games / Tournament

00:00
Auxiliary means
Ball (handball)
View
Topic description

Game idea:
Two teams with several outfield players and a goalkeeper each throw 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 crosses the opponent's goal line in its entirety.

Playing field:
Handball field (20mx45m) with goal circle.

Number of participants:
7 against 7 (6 outfield players plus 1 goalkeeper).

Playing rules:
The game is started by a kick-off by one team in the centre of the field. The ball carrier may take a maximum of three steps with the ball in his hands. In order to move, the ball must therefore be bounced or passed to each other. If a player is in possession of the ball, he may catch the ball a maximum of two times. If the ball is picked up after being bounced, it may not be bounced again. The ball may not be held in the hands for longer than 3 seconds and may not touch the body below the knees ("foot rule").

It is forbidden to snatch or knock away the held ball. It is also prohibited to hold the opponent by the body or clothing. Such fouls result in a free throw at the place of the incident. If the foul occurs between the free-throw line and the goal circle, the free throw is taken from the free-throw line. No attacking player may be between the free-throw line and the goal circle when the free-throw is taken. If the foul prevents a clear scoring opportunity, a 7m throw is awarded (direct goal kick from the 7m line; the front foot must not be moved).

The goal circle may not be entered by the field players. However, jumping into the goal circle is permitted, provided the ball is played/thrown before touching the ground. The goalkeeper may move freely within the goal circle and prevent hits with all limbs.

If the ball leaves the pitch over the touchlines, the ball is returned into play by the opposing team with a throw-in (normal pass with the front foot on the line). If the ball crosses the baseline, a throw-in is taken by the goalkeeper (exception: a defender touches the ball before it leaves the pitch over the baseline; in this case, a throw-in is taken in the respective corner of the pitch by an attacker).

After a goal, the right to attack changes. The kick-off is taken in the centre of the field by the team that scored the goal.

Topic description

Two participants stand opposite each other and pass the aid to each other (approx. 8 metres apart). After four (or more) faultless passes, both participants may move one step backwards. For each error (ball/shuttle/throwing disc falls to the ground, ball cannot be received correctly, ball is not controlled with the playing equipment, etc.), the participants must reduce the throwing distance by one step.

Variant I:
Depending on the game equipment or type of ball, a specific throwing, striking or shooting technique may be required for passing.
Variant II:
Multiple groups of 2 compete against each other (2 rows). The winning binomial is the one that reaches a certain distance first after the sports director's start signal.

Topic description

The participants spread out in pairs next to each other lying on their stomachs on the floor (the game can also be played standing up, with the pairs standing behind or next to each other). A "hunter" tries to catch a "hare" (or several "hunters" chase several "hares"). If the "hare" lies down/stands next to a group of two, the participant on the other side of the group becomes the "hare". If the "hunter" catches the "hare", the roles change.

Variant:
If the "hare" joins a group of 2, the participant on the opposite side becomes the "hunter". The previous "hunter" becomes the "hare".

Two participants swing the rope (2-3 skipping ropes knotted together). One participant moves from one side to the centre, jumps over the rope or runs directly to the other side. As soon as the first runner is in the centre, the second runner may also start. The runner behind tries to catch up with the runner in front (hare & hunter). The runners move in the shape of a figure of eight. The positions are swapped from time to time.

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