Tyre guard
Stimulate circulation
Group work
2 teams
Two teams play against each other in a limited playing area. A point is scored if a pass is made to a teammate who has at least one leg in a hoop. The defending team can block a hoop by placing a foot in it so that no points can be scored there (more hoops than defenders are therefore required for this type of exercise). The right to attack changes either after a certain time or after each loss of the ball or disc. The rules of the respective game form naturally apply (e.g. Smolball, Intercrosse/Lacrosse, Floorball, Frisbee Ultimate, Howler).
Variant I:
The exercise form can be played with all balls, throwing discs or game equipment. The throwing/passing technique or the passing technique can be specified.
Variant II:
Use more than one ball.
Participant:
1 stick/stick ►Intercrosse/Lacross, Smolball, Floorball
1-3 balls ►Basketball, Blitzball/Touchrugby, Frisbee Ultimate, FooBaSKILL, Futsal/Football, Handball, Intercrosse/Lacross, Smolball, Tchoukball, Floorball
4 marking cones/caps ►Field markings (optional)

Tyre jumping
Coordination exercises
Individual work
The participant hops over the tyres distributed on the floor. If two hoops are at the same height, both legs are used. Individual hoops are passed with the leg corresponding to the respective side. The hoops can be jumped through forwards or backwards. To make hoop jumping more difficult, the respective arm on the same or even opposite side can be lifted or stretched to the side at the same time when standing.
► Rhythmisation ability, orientation ability, balance ability
20-30 tyres
Post set-up:
Lay out the tyres to form a jumping course.
Tyre relay
Increase pulse
Group work
4-6 participants per group
The first participant in the group runs (alone) to the turnaround, slips through a tyre there and runs back to the group. Now the first participant runs with the second participant (holding hands) to the turning point, where they have to slip through the tyre again. The hands must not be released. This scenario is repeated until the entire group has slipped through the hoop (together with constant hand grasping). After this round, the first participant (who has travelled the longest so far) is allowed to disengage and the remaining group members continue the exercise. Finally, only the participant who was the last to join the group runs. At the end, all participants in the group have completed the same number of runs. Which group was the first to complete the task?

Racing circle
Stimulate circulation
Group work
5-7 participants per group
The group forms an outer front circle with the participants' arms hooked into each other. At the start, the group sits on the floor. On a command, the group must stand up without the chain breaking apart and run to a defined point (e.g. around a turnaround, to the hall wall or across a specific line) and back again.
Variant:
Same exercise form as above, with all participants bending their upper body slightly forwards so that they touch each other with their buttocks. An egg (e.g. a medicine ball) is placed on the centre of the group and transported to a defined point and back.
Per group:
2 colouring sticks/marking cones/cones ►start and reversal mark (optional)
Per group:
1 medicine ball ►Variant
Reserve
Miscellaneous
The sports manager plans a reserve in the main part so that there is certainly no lack of time (e.g. additional breaks are necessary, postponement time could take longer, post changes are less speedy, etc.).
Rescue and transport
Power
Partner work

Transport your comrade from one fanjon to another (Gamstrage grip) using the transport techniques from the regulations for self-help and comrade assistance (59.005).
Attention:
The back must be straight when lifting the comrade.
Material per participant: Tenue CNG 428
Additional material: 2 fanjons
Rescue ball
Stimulate circulation
Group work
One or more catchers are required. The hunted participants have several rescue balls/throwing discs which they can pass to each other. Anyone holding the rescue ball/throwing disc cannot be caught. Anyone who is caught (touched by a catcher) performs an additional task (e.g. five stretch jumps followed by a push-up). The catcher(s) is/are replaced from time to time.
Per participant:
1 stick/stick ►Intercrosse/Lacrosse, Smolball, Floorball
Per group:
2-x balls/throwing discs (depending on group size) ►Basketball, Frisbee Ultimate, FooBaSKILL, Futsal/Football, Handball, Intercrosse/Lacrosse, Smolball, Tchoukball, Floorball

Risk run
Increase pulse
Group work
4-5 participants per group
The front runners compete against each other and collect points for their group. The runners choose between reversal points at different distances (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cones). More risk (further distance) is rewarded with more points, but only the first two (or more, depending on the number of groups) runners receive the points, the rest go home empty-handed. Which group has the most points after a run (each group member completes one run), or which group is the first to score a number of points? Each round only starts at the signal of the sports director.
Variant I:
The runner (or the group) may only start when a specified number is rolled. This allows the runner to gamble even more when collecting points as to whether they will be able to reach a more distant turnaround point before the other groups can start.
Variant II:
The sports leader specifies a time during which the groups can collect points (e.g. 7 seconds). At the sports leader's signal, the whole group runs off at the same time. However, each runner only goes as far as the obstacle (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cone) that they feel will get them back to the starting position in time. At the finish line, the group totals up the correct points collected. Which group can judge themselves best and collect the most points?
Variant III:
The runners take it in turns to run round the first, then the second and finally the third turning point (no risk run). Which final runner returns to the group first?
Types of transport:
- Pinch the frisbee between the knees
- Pinch the frisbee between the legs and hop along
- Complete the course in a four-foot gait (backwards), transporting the frisbee on the thighs or stomach
- Balance the frisbee on the head
- Transport the ball in or on the frisbee (depending on the top)

Robot game
Stimulate circulation
Group work
Groups of 3
Two "robots" start back to back. A "programmer" sets the robots in motion by touching the "on/off button" on their heads. If a robot is touched on the left or right shoulder, it makes a 90-degree turn to the corresponding side and continues moving. After starting the robots, the programmer may not issue any commands for five seconds. When a "robot" reaches a wall, it makes a 180-degree turn. The aim of the "programmer" is to bring the "robots" back together again.

Roll backwards
Floor and apparatus gymnastics






From a standing position, roll backwards and place your feet on the floor behind your hands as quickly and as close as possible to return to a standing position. Curl your upper body like a turtle shell during the entire rolling movement from the top of your head to your tailbone. Roll over the upper back and shoulders and not over the head.
The participants practise the form of movement independently using series of pictures or based on the instructor's demonstration of the exercise. The instructor (or a partner) gives feedback, provides support and checks that the exercise is being performed correctly.

Roll backwards through the handstand (Streuli)
Floor and apparatus gymnastics









Roll backwards from an upright position, placing your feet on the floor as quickly and as close as possible behind your hands. Curl your upper body like a turtle shell during the entire rolling movement from the top of your head to your tailbone. Roll over the upper back and shoulders and not over the head. At the end of the roll, push your body into a handstand (full body stretch). The arms can be bent at first and then stretched or remain stretched throughout the movement. From the handstand, place the legs on the floor to return to the standing position.
In order to be able to perform this sequence of movements, it is necessary to be able to roll forwards and backwards, have appropriate support in the arms and master the tilt kick movement.
The participants practise the form of movement independently using series pictures or based on the demonstration of the exercise by the sports leader. The sports instructor (or a partner) gives feedback, provides support and checks that the exercise is being performed correctly.

Group work
2 teams
Two teams face each other behind two defined lines. In the centre of the two lines are 2-3 gym balls/kin balls/volleyballs, which are to be rolled behind the opponent's baseline or a defined line with targeted shots/throws by the participants (by hand, with the foot or with the playing equipment). Balls may only be shot at the target ball from behind one's own baseline. The throwing line, but not the centre line, may be crossed to retrieve the throwing balls. There are numerous balls in both throwing zones at the start of the game (e.g. handball, football, basketball, volleyball, floorball, etc.).
Caution:
It is forbidden to shoot/throw directly at the opposing team's players and care must be taken not to be hit by approaching balls when retrieving them.
