On-site supervision is recommended following initial skill instruction and after all safety concerns have been emphasized.
Instructional Considerations
Warm-up activities should emphasize conditioning and flexibility.
Body contact is not allowed.
Interception of the ball is forbidden in order to prevent aggressions or physical contact between opponents.
Standard matches of three periods of 15 minutes should be modified to three periods of 8 minutes for younger players.
Players must immediately stop gameplay if the referee has called an injury.
Any player who violates the spirit of the game through disrespectful behaviour towards an opponent, referee, spectator, or teammate will receive a warning (yellow card) or expulsion from play at the discretion of the referee. Expelled players may be replaced.
In the spirit of Tchoukball, it may be necessary to adapt the rules to the number of available players, their level of preparedness, and the size of the play area.
Equipment / Facilities
A 3m wide unobstructed perimeter around the playing area is recommended.
The net frame must be fixed in place during play such that it is not a danger to players.
Rubber balls are preferred to leather to avoid trauma to fingers and face.
