Spider soccer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spider soccer is a variant of the soccer game . According to the game science system, it is one of the ball sports and has become a popular game in physical education , sports clubs and senior sports . In contrast to sitting football , which has primarily established itself as a disabled sport , players move around the room on their hands and feet.

Game name and game idea

Sitticus floricola, spider as the namesake for spider soccer

The popular ball game got its name from the type of locomotion in the course of the game: the players move "like spiders" on their hands and feet. They take a rearward position. During the rest phases, the players sit on the floor. As soon as they want to intervene in the game, they do so with spider-like quick movements. The ball is kicked with your feet.

Rules of the game and playground

The prerequisite for playing is two teams with an equal number of players. These are distributed in the room according to your tactical considerations. As in the original soccer game , the ball, which is usually a soccer ball, but can also be a soft ball for younger players, must be brought into a previously defined goal of the opposing team, which they try to prevent.

As a rule, a hall with an injury-free, smooth floor is required as the playground . Flat gates, but also the broad sides of tipped long benches, box lids, raised floor mats, wall markings or the entire longitudinal wall can serve as goals. The decisive factor is the height of the goal, which must not exceed the height of the seat of the players, so that the goal can be defended with the body. There is no sideways "off". Rather, the outer walls can be used as boards for the game. They are part of the playing field and allow additional tactical moves. As in regular football, the ball should be brought to and into the opponent's goal by passing it in your own ranks.

Game variants

  • By advancing the goal into the field of play, goals can be scored from two sides.
  • Bringing a second ball into the game can increase the intensity and concentration of the players when there are large numbers of players.
