Tchoukball
In a nutshell
Tchoukball is a team sport that is usually played indoors on a court of approximately 16 × 27 m. Two teams of 7 players are playing together with a ball the size of a handball. On each side of the court there is a frame (inclined trampoline). The attacking team passes the ball around and shoots at either of the frames, from which the ball bounces back. At this point, the other team must try to catch the ball before it hits the ground. If they manage to do so, play continues. But if they fail, the attacking team scores a point.
Tactical
Tchoukball is a true team sport! A blend of volleyball, handball and squash, tchoukball requires real team spirit. All the players on the court complement one another. It is impossible to win a match by relying solely on the technical skills of just a few players.
Accessible
Just five minutes of instructions and you’re ready to go – let’s start playing!
For beginners, tchoukball is fun right from the start. The basic movements are simple and natural. Average fitness is more than enough, and the basic rules are easy to understand. The lack of contact means mixed teams can play. No special equipment is needed to get started. It is the perfect sport for anyone looking to get back into team sports.
However, in competition, tchoukball becomes a particularly intense, demanding and all-round sport. The technical moves required become increasingly complex and spectacular.
Intense
An exciting, all-round and exhilarating sport. With its technical skills, fast-paced matches and the tactical thinking required, tchoukball is a particularly dynamic and enjoyable sport to play.
Fair-play
An exemplary philosophy: By promoting fair play and prohibiting any aggressive or obstructive behaviour towards the opposing team, the game becomes about “playing with the other team” rather than “playing against the other team”. Winning means “playing better than the other team” rather than “disrupting the other team’s play”
Through adapted rules, tchoukball seeks to eliminate foul play and unnecessary aggression. Any act of obstruction or interference is banned.
