No. 7 Team ball in three squares
Topic: Short warm-up games
Minimum number of players: 8
Difficulty level:
Equipment required: 3 different throwing toys, e.g., 1 handball, 1 frisbee, 1 softball; 8 cones
Setting:
- Define three playing fields using cones and make two teams.
- Both teams play team ball on the individual playing fields using the respective throwing toy. The players are not allowed to bounce the toy.
- Choose a different throwing toy for each playing field, e.g., common handball, medicine ball, frisbee, soft ball, tennis ball, etc.
- After playing, the throwing toys must remain in the respective playing field.
Course:
- The team in possession of the toy tries to pass it 8 times (return passes are not allowed).
- If the opposing team steals the toy, they may immediately try to pass it 8 times.
- The team scores, if they manage to pass the toy 8 times. After scoring, the toy must be put on the floor at once.
- Now the coach whistles once or twice, which is the sign for both teams to change the playing field accordingly.
Changing the playing field upon the coach’s whistle:
- One whistle: Change playing field upwards (A).
- Two whistles: Change playing field downwards (B).
- The team that first secures the new throwing toy may immediately try to pass it 8 times.
Examples:
- End of game on playing field 1
-- One whistle; the players need to move to playing field 3. However, the players need to sprint around one of the two cones first before they are allowed to enter playing field 3 (C).
-- Two whistles; the players need to move to playing field 2.
- End of game on playing field 2
-- One whistle; the players need to move to playing field 1.
-- Two whistles; the players need to move to playing field 3.
- End of game on playing field 3
-- One whistle; the players need to move to playing field 2.
-- Two whistles; the players need to move to playing field 1. However, the players need to sprint around one of the two cones first before they are allowed to enter playing field 1 (D).

Minimum number of players: 8
Difficulty level:
Equipment required: 1 handball, 8 to 10 cones
Setting:
- Use cones to define several goals.

- As soon as the team has passed the ball through the cones 5 times, the coach calls out a number between 1 and 4 (E).
- The attacking team now tries to lay down the ball behind the respective side line (F).
- The team scores if they manage to complete the whole course (pass 5 times through a goal and subsequently lay down the ball behind the correct side line).
