Tennandby
The new sport of Tennandby was created by judahb8 from Scotland in early Summer 2016. It is a game played with a tennis ball and two teams of 3 to 8. The aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible in a 10 - 30 min game.
Equipment Required
- 2 hockey goals, cone goals or small football goals.
- Tennis ball.
- 2 tennis rackets.
Pitch Size
Doesn't matter. The box goes across whole width of the pitch and has to be a big enough so that players can't score to easily so box size may vary on who is playing and size of pitch.
Rules
- Each team needs one goalie.
- Players can't go into the box.
- If a player enters his/her box it is a penalty throw to the other team (like a penalty in football).
- If a player enters their opponents box the opposing teams goalie gets the ball.
- Players can use any part of their body other than their legs and feet to touch the ball.
- If kicks the ball, the ball is given to the other team where the foul was.
- Players score by throwing the ball in the net.
- When a goal is scored the ball goes to the team who was just scored against.
- You can pass to teammates (including goalie) anytime.
- If ball goes out whoever touched it last ball goes to the other team for a throw in from where the ball went out.
- Players usually dribble by holding the ball in their hand and running.
- The only way to tackle players is to tag the opposing player with the ball, and they have to drop ball on the ground so you can get it and player that has just grabbed the ball can't be tagged until they move.
- Players can pick the ball off the ground at any time.
- If the goal keeper touches the ball and it goes behind the goal the opposing team gets a throw in at either side at the edge of the box.
- Goalkeepers get a tennis racket that they can't let go of.
