Combat

Group Size: 2 to 20 players
Difficulty: mittel
Material: Three juggling balls per player, small marked circle
Duration: approx. 5-15 minutes

Game Description¶

Two players stand back to back inside a small marked area, both juggling three balls. On the signal they push backward against each other and try to force the other player out of the circle or into a drop. The first player to drop or leave the circle loses. Kicking, elbowing and unsafe body contact are not allowed.

Variations¶

Run it as quick duel rounds with winners staying on, or create a small tournament bracket.

Safety Notes¶

Keep the playing area clear and define the limits before the round starts. For contact games, target props rather than bodies. For throwing, riding, balancing or acrobatic games, leave enough space for failed attempts and stop the round if the group starts taking unsafe risks.
