Matt DeAngelis How to play Tchoukball For high school students
Origin Sports national symbol • Tchoukball was created out of Switzerland. • It has become an international sport • Dr. Hermann Brandt was the developer of the sport. • Being a doctor of sport related injuries, he developed a competitive game with no contact. • He combined handball, volleyball and squash into one game.
Where is the sport played • Tchoukball is a sport that is usually played on an indoor court. • It also can be played outside on grass or sand. • A non-rough landing are is needed. • The dimensions of the courts are 40 meters long by a width of 20 meter. Also notice the Forbidden Zone

Now Lets ReviewThe Forbidden Zone • Notice the yellow line. • It is a 3 meter perimeter around this net. • It marks an area of the court you are not allowed to step into. • A winger is allowed to run with the ball and jump over the line to attack the net or pass the ball. • They are not allowed to step in this are with the ball though. • This will be discussed later.
The Team • A team is comprised of 12 players. • Only 7 players are allowed on the court at one time. • Each team has 4 wingers two centers and a middle man. • Any one on the team can score a point. Team work is key!
How to Score • You must through the ball off the net, and make it land outside the forbidden zone. • You can attack either net • You are not limited to one net like most sports. • It’s the other teams point if.. • the attacking team throws the ball out of bounds because they missed the net. • your ball bounces out of bounds after it hits the net.
Defensive Defend against a point • To prevent a point you can catch the ball as it is bounced off the net. • As you can notice the five people to the right. They are in a defensive position to catch the ball to defend against being scored on.
Defensive cont… • As in football or basketball you are allowed to intercept passes or try and block the thrower • This is NOT allowed in Tchoukball. • Any type of defensive play besides catching a ball off the net is considered a foul. • A foul will cause the opposite team to receive the ball where the foul occurred
Catching the ball • You must catch the ball with your body • If the ball hits your feet or shin, it is not a catch. • Notice the defense is on their knees so that all of their visible body is in play. • If the ball hits the ground it is not a catch • How to catch
Fouls All fouls result in the other teams possession or will count as a point. • If the ball touches the ground • Intercepting of blocking the ball • More then three steps • Illegal catch • Possession longer then 3 seconds
Fouls cont… • More then three passes • Player steps out of bounds with ball • Steps in forbidden zone with ball • Hitting metal frame of net with ball • Shooting at the same net for a fourth time • Shooting after restart, before ball has crossed midline
Substitutions • Substitutions should take place in front of referee • Subs must wait until a point is scored • Each team has unlimited substitutions
Positioning • This court shows two teams • A green and a red team • The green team is being defensive • The red team is playing offensive • This is how a game starts
Positioning cont… • Playing defensively • Having three people lined up on Forbidden Line • Also having thee more players lined up behind them • A total of six players will try and defend a throw • Only your one center will stay on the other half of the court
Positioning cont…. • Playing Offensively • Notice how the offense is spread • They can attack from any angle • Or they can change sides of the court
Positioning cont… • The offense will move the ball fast • Try and find a good angle to throw • The defense needs to adjust quickly • Be ready for a throw at any time
Positioning Transition • If the defense catches the ball • They can attack from the point of the catch • They have three throws on one side of the court • Or they can transition to the other side of the court • All players have to be fast! • They need to move from one side to the other • Following the defense or the offensive flow
The ball • Similar to a soccer ball, but smaller • The ball changes size and weight • The older the player, heavier and bigger ball • Women also get their own ball • Ball ranges from 54cm-60cm • Weights from 325g to 475g
