The participants move freely with the ball (forwards, backwards, sideways, with speed variation) in the hall/area, with the sports instructor specifying various movement tasks. The exercises should be performed with both the stronger and the weaker side. Here is a possible selection of exercises:

• Balancing the ball on the racket
• Juggling the ball with the racket (forehand and backhand side as well as racket edge)
• Bouncing the ball on the ground
• Catching/stopping the ball every few steps with the racket in the air as well as on the ground
• Rolling/guiding the ball on the ground

Participant:
1 bat (Smolball)
1 ball (Smolball)

Approach over the long bench, jump onto/over the soft mat further away.

1 long bench
2 parallel bars
2 vaulting box
3 soft mats (large)
2 soft mats (small)
4 skipping ropes

Post set-up:
Exercise set-up as shown; the large soft mats are tied to the parallel bars.

Game idea:
Two teams face each other on a playing field and endeavour to place a rugby ball in the opponent's target area by using their running speed and feinting hooks. The respective ball carrier can be forced by the opposing team to pass the ball backwards to a teammate, who then tries to penetrate the target area.

Scoring points:
A point is scored when an untouched player can place the ball behind the opposite target line in one of the three target areas. The centre target area scores three points, the side fields score 2 points each (indicated by marker cones).
Variant: a large soft mat is placed in the target area (centre); a point is scored by jumping onto the mat.

Playing field:
Field size 50mx34m for 6 players (3 against 3), 70mx48m (12 players), 100mx55m (18 players)

Number of participants:
3 against 3 to 9 against 9, depending on the field size

Rules of the game:

• The game is opened by means of a pass from the centre forward between the straddled legs to the back to a teammate.
• The ball may be carried forwards by any player, but may only be played/passed backwards.
• The player carrying the ball may be forced to pass it by hitting him on the back with his hand. The player in possession of the ball must then pass the ball on the third step or after two seconds at the latest.
• Jostling, clutching and pushing are not permitted, nor is hitting the ball.
• A free throw is awarded for all infringements of the rules, especially if the attacking team passes forwards. The free throw is always taken from the spot where the offence was committed.
• Except for the handshake on the back, Blitzball is played without any form of physical contact.

Two teams play against each other in a given field. The aim is to play as many passes as possible in the team before an opponent can intercept the ball or the ball falls to the ground. Whoever gets a pat on the shoulder from the opponent must pass. If the pass is intercepted or the ball falls to the ground, the ball changes hands and the other team can play the passes. Whoever has played the most passes after a predetermined time wins.

Variant:
10 passes result in one point. If a point is scored, the ball changes hands.

Each six participants form an outer front circle and pass a rugby ball around the outside of the circle. Round to the right / round to the left / ditto with two balls (aim: catch up with the other ball).

Per group:
2 rugby balls

One way of blocking from the basic position is simply to turn out the respective hand and bring it forwards (crosswise) in order to ward off/block the attacker's punch with the palm of the hand (fist against palm).

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

This sequence of movements combines blocking and dodging with a counter (lead hand and punching hand). One participant slowly strikes 4x in the direction of their partner's forehead (2x left/right). The defender blocks the punches twice (left/right) and then dodges twice and simultaneously performs a counter-punch (left/right).

Blocking:
When blocking, the respective hand is turned out from the basic position and brought forward (crosswise) to ward off/block the attacker's punch with the palm of the hand (fist against palm).

Leading hand:
When countering with the leading hand (example left side), the front foot remains stable in place, the weight is shifted to the rear (right) foot (tilt the upper body backwards slightly). To avoid the opponent's punch, the body weight is not only shifted backwards, but the upper body is also tilted to the side (outwards - to the right). Finally, you follow up with your own punch (jab) with the (left) lead hand (on the "inside" side).

Punching hand:
When countering with the punching hand (example right side), you take a step to the (left) side (sidestep), shifting your weight to the front (left) foot. Finally, the own punch (straight) follows with the stronger hand (on the "inner" side).

Exercise:
In groups of 2, the blocking and dodging including the counter punch is practised. This involves blocking and dodging twice on one side and then on the other (lead hand and punching hand). The sequence of movements is practised very slowly at first; the speed can only be increased once the sequence of movements has been completely mastered. The roll can be changed after each pass or after several passes. In order to gain more confidence in the sequence of movements, it is advisable to do several passes in succession. It also makes sense to change partners from time to time (variety and different levels of participants). The instructor can make the exercise more difficult by no longer clearly defining the attacking side (e.g. 2 attacks each to block and evade - side arbitrarily determined by the attacker - change roles - change partners).

Participant A: 2x punch left + right (jab + straight) / Participant B: Block left + right plus dodge with counter (lead hand and punching hand)

Variant:
All participants perform the sequence of movements (= participant B; see above) together (same front - rotate the alignment by 90 degrees after each pass). The instructor counts slowly from 1-4 for the individual steps (block left - block right - dodge incl. counter with the lead hand - dodge incl. counter with the punching hand). The instructor takes the opportunity to make corrections.

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

Position:
Elbows close to the upper body, arms remain where they are in the boxing position, slight shoulder rotation against the punch (3cm).

• Participant A: punch with lead hand
• Participant B: block with punching hand

• Participant A: punch with lead hand, block with punching hand
• Participant B: Block with punching hand, counter with jabbing hand

Variation:
Apply what you have learnt in a short 1:1 match (slowly + carefully; don't hit too hard at the beginning).

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

The participants form groups of 3-10 people. The sports leader specifies the number of limbs that may touch the floor within the group. Through skilful acrobatic exercises and a little ingenuity, the groups fulfil the sports leader's specifications.

No material required

The participants sit back to back with their legs slightly bent in the centre of a mat/lawn area. The participants' arms are interlocked. The aim is to press the opponent's right or left shoulder to the ground. The side is changed with each pass.

From the shoulder-width boxing position, a tennis ball is bounced with one hand while the other hand is always held at the temple. The participant moves freely on their feet as if on a track (forwards, backwards, sideways - also in a circle, bouncing the tennis ball at the same point).

Variant:
A fight between everyone (or duel): the participant whose tennis ball touches the floor or is held twice in succession completes an additional task (press-ups, stretch jumps, squats). The opponent's tennis ball may be touched, but there is no physical contact.

1 Tennisball

Exercise 1:
Static form: From the shoulder-width boxing position, bounce a tennis ball (in a hoop) with one hand, keeping the other hand on your temple at all times. Change which hand is bouncing the tennis ball from time to time.

Exercise 2:
Dynamic form: Move the tennis ball between the rings (bouncing on the feet) without touching them.

Exercise 3:
On a command from the instructor ("top"), swap the tennis ball with a partner.

Exercise 4:
At the instructor's command ("top"), try to steal another participant's tennis ball without losing your own ball.

Exercise 5:
All against all (elimination match): whoever loses their ball is eliminated (possibly perform additional tasks).

Per participant:
1 tennis ball
