Sling ball game
The sling ball game (also known as a drift ball) is a ball game between two parties of eight players on a field of 100 m × 15 m, in which it is important to throw the ball over the opposing end of the field, which is known as the goal line.
A ball with a handle loop, usually a leather ball, which is filled with horse or deer hair and weighs 0.6 kg to 1.5 kg, depending on the age group, serves as play equipment.
The sling ball game is one of the gymnastics games ; it was developed in the German Gymnastics Association (DT). Schleuderball was first presented by Berlin gymnasts at the German Gymnastics Festival in Hamburg in 1898 . As a result, it spread mainly in northwest Germany . In the period from 1921 to 1924, German championships were held in the DT, which were dominated by the clubs from Oldenburg and East Friesland . Since at least four gymnastics circles then no longer took part in the championships, the game disappeared from the program again, since according to the game rules of the DT and now the German Gymnastics Federation (DTB) for the implementation of German championships, at least four gymnastics circles or today Regional gymnastics associations is required.
The game is still practiced today, especially in the lower grades, in numerous schools. There is only one league game in the Oldenburger Land.

The rules were laid down by the Lower Saxony Gymnastics Association as follows: The playing field is a hundred meters long but only fifteen meters wide. At the short ends there is the goal line for one party. The sling ball is brought into play by one party (hereinafter referred to as A) by throwing it by throwing it as far as possible in the direction of the opposing goal line. If the other party (B) catches the ball out of the air, they may throw it back - but only from standing and without using the loop. This is called shock . If party A manages to catch the shocked ball, it may shock it back. Party B is allowed to catch him again and shock him back. If party A catches it, the ball is returned to the release point. Then, just as if the ball is not caught in between, Party B may now throw a throw. If this is caught, the same procedure as above is repeated ( shocked ), and party A then has the throw again. A special feature is that there are no sling throw specialists, but rather all players of a party carry out the throwing throw in a fixed order.
