Handball: Dodgeball

1. Teams and Setup:

• The group is split into two teams.
• The teams play on two adjacent fields separated by a neutral zone.
• Each team has a defender who stands behind the opposing team’s field. The defender’s role is to return the ball to their own team.

1. Gameplay:

• Players aim to hit opponents with the ball to eliminate them.
• If a player gets hit, they move to their team’s defender and assist in retrieving and returning the ball.
• By eliminating an opponent, a previously eliminated teammate can rejoin the game.

1. Neutral Zone and Immortal Player:

• There is a neutral zone between the two fields.
• Each team assigns one “immortal” player who stays in the neutral zone.
• The immortal player’s job is to block incoming balls to protect their team. They cannot be eliminated.

1. Endgame:

• If all players of a team are eliminated, the defender enters the field to play.
• The defender has three lives and can attempt to eliminate opponents.
• By hitting an opponent, the defender allows their teammates to re-enter the game.

1. Special Rules:

• Hitting someone in the face does not count. If this happens, one eliminated teammate may rejoin the game.

Ways to Make It More Challenging:

1. Bounce balls:

• Players must throw the ball so that it bounces once before hitting an opponent.

1. Minimum Pass Rule:

• Players must pass the ball at least once before attempting to eliminate someone.

1. Jumpshot:

• Players must throw using a jump shot to eliminate opponents.

Teams try to throw ball against the other team's benches

They have to use their jump shot to find a space and throw past the opposite team who are trying to protect their benches.

Players stand in line and take it in turns to pass to the feeder (blue 1) and then run forwards to move onto the return pass.

Players should look to catch the ball near the 7meter line and take off before the edge of the goal area line on their strong foot.

Once they've received the ball players must throw a jump shot before landing as far as possible  inside the D

Variations:

• 3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)
• 2 step or even in 1 step
  jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot
• jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)

Players run the course.
