And WHAT exactly is Tchoukball?
Tchoukball is a team game where you need a ball and two special goals. In contrast to other team games, Tchoukball is a non-contact sport, as intercepting passes, blocking throws or getting in the way of other players is forbidden. There is a 3 metres radius area in front of each goal, which the ball cannot touch. In order to score a point, one must bounce the ball off the goal so that it lands outside the special area. The defending team tries to catch the ball before it hits the ground.
Tchoukball is a very dynamic and spectacular game. The teams can attack on either of the two goals and are allowed to make not more than three passes before throwing at the goal. The player possessing the ball can hold it up to three seconds and make three steps, after which s/he must make a pass or throw the ball.
What distinguishes Tchoukball from other sports is that you do not waste energy on disturbing the opponents because the only way of intercepting the ball is succesful defence. The players focus on developing their own game skills and team play; observing the opponents' moves and positioning oneself on the field is crucial. Because of its rules, Tchoukball is a safe sport, which, according to its founder, encourages the forming of social bonds through physical activity.
