VölkerballVölkerball

What you need…What you need…Two balls, two teams with up to 15 players each, a field with 2 equal parts, enthusiasm and a lot of time

A bench on the central divide line and 6 colourful tools (e.g. flags) to set the limits of the field.

The first stepsThe first steps Each team chooses

its King, who is placed outside the court of the opposite team.

The teacher throws the 2 balls in the air and the students try to catch them to start the game.

The gameThe game

The players as well as their King throw the balls at members of the opposing team in an attempt to eliminate as many players as possible.

Oh dear, I´m out Oh dear, I´m out

A player is eliminated from the central court:

If (s)he is hit on the full and doesn‘t manage to catch the ball.

If (s)he moves out of bounds when a ball is thrown at him/her.

But if a thrower has hit an opposing player he is allowed to enter his team´s field again.

But Attention…Hit is not hit!But Attention…Hit is not hit!

A player isn´t hit if:

-the ball touches the floor before hitting the player.

-the player catches theball.

Last King StandingLast King Standing

When the last player is eliminated from the court, the King goes in the central court.

(S)he is granted three lives, which means (s)he is allowed to be hit three times.

When team-mates from the outer circle hit an opposing player, they can go back into the court. The King goes out then.

The EndThe End

The game ends, when all the players and the King are out.

So then…So then…

We wish you good luck and a lot of fun when playing this typical German sport!
