Handball: gymnastics

The castle (a gymnastics mat or bench) is defended by a goal keeper and his knights (the white team). The blue attackers try to bomb the castle by throwing the ball at the bench / mat.

To set this game up you need a gymnastics bench at each side of the half court and two back to back benches (or a large gymnastics box if available) laying flat inside the middle of the area. In this middle area there should be a white player defending their side of the bench and a blue player defending their side. The white team tries to score by hitting the ball on the blue's side of the bench and the white side tries to score on the blue's side of the central bench. After every failed attempt to score the team who made the shot must touch one of the benches on either side of the area.

Set up: Two goals are set up on the field: open sections of gymnastics boxes or two vaulting horses. Two teams compete to score points by passing the ball to each other. Objective: The goal is to throw the ball through the goal. Rolling the ball is not allowed. Scoring is possible from both sides of the goal. Ways to make it more challenging: Introduce a restricted area around the goals where players are not allowed to enter. Assign a goalkeeper to defend the goal. Bring in a second ball to play with.

Set up: Two goals are set up on the field: two gymnastics boxes or two vaulting horses with a medicineball on top of it. Two teams compete to score points by passing the ball to each other and hitting the medicineball. Objective: The goal is to throw the ball through the goal. Rolling the ball is not allowed. Scoring is possible from both sides of the goal. Ways to make it more challenging: Introduce a restricted area around the goals where players are not allowed to enter. Assign a goalkeeper to defend the goal.

Setup:Divide players into two teams: Team A (runners) and Team B (throwers). Place gymnastics hoops (one per player on Team B) spread across the playing area. Team B players stand inside the hoops and are not allowed to leave them. Team A moves freely within the playing area. Objective:Team B: Pass the ball between their players and try to hit (tag) Team A players by throwing the ball at them. Team A: Avoid getting hit while staying within the boundaries of the playing area. Rules:Team B players must stay inside their hoops while passing and throwing the ball. A free player from Team B (not in a hoop) is responsible for retrieving the ball after missed throws and passing it back to teammates in the hoops. If a player from Team A is hit, they leave the game. The game ends when all Team A players are out or after a set time limit. The team that stays in the field the longest wins. Ways to Make It More Challenging:Adjust Hoop Distances: Increase or decrease the distance between the hoops to make passing and coordination easier or harder for Team B. Add Defensive Mechanics: Give each runner from Team A a ball to use for deflecting incoming throws.

Setup:Divide players into two teams: Team A (runners) and Team B (throwers). Team B stands inside gymnastics hoops spread across the playing area. Each player has their own hoop and cannot leave it. Only one player from Team A runs in the playing area at a time. Objective:Team B: By passing the ball among themselves, they try to hit (tag) the active runner from Team A. Team A: Players take turns running to avoid being hit. The goal is to survive as long as possible. Rules:Team B must stay inside their hoops while passing and throwing the ball. A designated free player from Team B (not in a hoop) retrieves the ball after missed throws and passes it back to teammates in the hoops. Team A sends in one runner at a time. If the runner is hit, they are out and perform a designated exercise (e.g., lunges, push-ups, wall passes, dribbling through a course, etc.). The game continues until all runners from Team A have been hit. Track how long it takes to eliminate all runners. Ways to Make It More Challenging:Hoop Placement: Increase or decrease the distances between hoops to make passing easier or harder. Field Size: Adjust the size of the playing area to create more or less space for the runner to avoid being hit. Movement Restrictions: Runners can only move in specific ways, such as crawling, sliding, or hopping. Thrower Mobility: Allow players in hoops to step out, pass among themselves, and tag the runner directly with the ball. Variations:Defense for Runners: Each runner can hold a ball to deflect incoming throws. Cooperative Defense: Allow multiple runners to be active at once, working together to dodge and defend.

Setup:Place a part of a gymnastics vault box (or similar object with an opening) in the center of each team's field. Divide players into two teams. Provide each team with several balls. Objective:Players aim to score points by throwing balls through the opening of the opposing team's gymnastics vault box. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Rules:Players must stay within their designated field and cannot cross into the opposing team's area. Only balls that pass through the gymnastics vault box' opening count as points. Ways to Make It More Challenging:Increase Distance: Move the throwing line farther away from the cabinet.

To set this game up you need a gymnastics bench at each side of the half court and two back to back benches (or a large gymnastics box if available) laying flat inside the middle of the area. In this middle area there should be a white player defending their side of the bench and a blue player defending their side. The white team tries to score by hitting the ball on the blue's side of the bench and the white side tries to score on the blue's side of the central bench. After every failed attempt to score the team who made the shot must touch one of the benches on either side of the area.

A big ball is transported to the other side of the pitch by the whole team.

Two opposing equal sides both start on the baseline of the area with 3 balls on the center line (half as many balls as there are players). On the coach's call players sprint to try and collect the ball and claim it for their team. Once in possession of the ball players are trying to hit the opposition's cones whilst at the same time protecting their own cones. The winning team is the first team to hit all of their opponent's cones.

White players are in a set cirkle. Blue players form the crocodile by holding each others hips. White players pass around and try to hit the crocodile's tail.

Players dribble one after another around to the throw off line and they dribble along this line towards the center. When the trainer blows his whistle the player suddenly changes direction to the goal and shoots at the goal.

In the hall, depending on the number of players, four ball crates or open springboards are placed in a square formation. Each crate contains the same number of balls.At the starting signal, players run to a different crate, grab a ball, and bring it back to their own crate without dribbling. The team with the most balls in their crate when the final signal is given wins.Making it harder:<br>You may block other players' paths.You must dribble the ball back to your own crate.You may steal the ball from a dribbling player in a correct manner.<br>

One player lies down and the other one jumps over him.Change places and move forward to the othe side of the pitch.
