Game idea:
Two teams with several outfield players and a goalkeeper each shoot the ball into the opponent's goal by attacking skilfully. 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:
120 x 90m (maximum), or 90 x 45m (minimum).
The pitch size can be adjusted for sports lessons.
Number of participants:
11:11 (incl. one goalkeeper per team).
Adjust the number of players if the pitch size is changed.
Playing rules:
The game is opened at the start of each period by a kick-off by one team in the centre of the pitch. The same applies after a goal has been scored, whereby the team that has conceded a goal has the right to kick-off. The ball may be played with any part of the body except the arms. Within the penalty area (rectangular area with a width of 16.50 metres from the respective post and the same depth), the goalkeeper may take the ball in his hands. Handball and fouls (holding, clutching, punching, pushing, putting the leg down, kicking the legs, leaning, etc.) outside the penalty area are penalised with a direct free kick for the opposing team (i.e. possession of the ball at a distance of 9m from the opponent). If the offence takes place inside the penalty area, the opposing team is awarded a penalty from a distance of 11m from the goal.
If a player kicks the ball out of bounds over a touchline, the opposing team is awarded a throw-in, whereby the ball is thrown back into the field to a team-mate with a two-handed throw over the head from outside the touchline. If the ball leaves the field of play over the outer goal line, a goal kick (last touch of the ball by the attacker) or a corner kick (last touch of the ball by the defender) is awarded, depending on who last touched the ball.
