Tennis Hockey 🏑🎾
🏒 Story / Theme:
Two teams face off in a fast-paced hockey-style game — but with 🎾 tennis rackets and ⚽ balls instead of sticks and pucks! Pass, block, and score goals while keeping it safe.
🎯 Equipment:
• 🥅 4 small goals (2 per team, placed at opposite ends or sides)
• ⚽ 1 football
• 🎾 1 racket per player
• 🟧 Cones to mark safe play areas and boundaries
🎮 How to Play
🎾 🎮 How to Play:
🔵🔴 Split players into two teams (use bibs)
🥅 Set up two mini goals per team, spaced apart to encourage passing.
🏑 Players use tennis rackets to push or tap the ball hockey-style (no swinging).
⏱️ 3-second rule: Players must pass within 3 seconds of receiving — encourage quick decision-making and team play.
🛡️ Defenders may intercept or block shots but no tackling or physical contact.
🔁 Play starts from the centre after every goal.
🧑🤝🧑 Teams may assign positions (attackers, defenders, goalkeepers).
🚀 Progressions:
⏱ Timed Possession: Pass within 3 seconds.
🗺️ Zones: Mark attack, midfield, and defence zones — rotate roles.
🎯 Multiple Balls: Add a second ball to increase speed and chaos.
⚡ One-Touch Passing: Ball must be played instantly on contact.
🎲 Variations
• 🔄 Score Anywhere: Any goal counts — encourages switching sides.
