‘DO A LOT WITH LITTLE’
.
BALLS
I use balls for reaction and coordination games.
Also for balance tasks and visual skills.
You can find games such as Follow the Balls, Transport the Balls, Now or Capture the Flag in the GAMES section.
I use both tennis balls, as these can bounce, and cross-boule balls, which look like a not quite full little bag.
The cross-boule balls also stay relatively well on objects and so you can play different games with them than with completely round balls.
Children and teenagers love the different ball games.

.
BLACKROLL
Rolling out on the fascia roller is important because we use many muscles intensively during training.
Sometimes this is not entirely pleasant, but it is very good for our body.
Watch videos for the muscle areas you have used in particular and follow the instructions.

.
FINGERRETTER
The small metal rings are great for working on tense fingers after training.
Simply place them over your fingers and roll them slowly back and forth.
Good after climb-ups and training where you have been hanging on the wall a lot.

.
RUBBER BANDS
You can use it for strength training, but also for weight-reduction exercises (e.g. pull-ups with an elastic band).

.
CARDS
With the different cards, you can choose teams, play games and, for example, memorise movement sequences better.
You can play games such as line building or tic-tac-toe with them.




.
CHALK
Chalk is my absolute favourite.
You can remodel everything and redesign games with it.
The best chalk games are the box game, star search and number search.
You can also use chalk to draw movement sequences.
This gives the participants a visual indication of what they have to do and gives you time to observe what each person is doing.

BALLOONS

.
RINGS
Rings are good for swinging.
Light overhead exercises can be performed relatively easily.
You can also practise hanging with rings.

.
ROPES
I usually use ropes to demarcate the field, make markings, but also as play equipment.
Ropes are a good way to learn and improve jumping and timing.
Balancing on well-tensioned ropes (sometimes on playgrounds) is possible.

.
TAPE
I used tape from time to time.
After a torn hand from swinging or a cut finger.
There are many taping techniques.
As I don’t use tape permanently and only use it in emergencies, I’ll only show you the options that are helpful in my experience.

.
CARPET TILES
Super good for having a visual target in front of you without having to land on something elevated.
You can find games such as From one side to the other or Target landing at Games.

.
LAUNDRY CLAMPS
I love playing clothes peg search, as the participants have to concentrate on finding the pegs while moving over obstacles.
There are also reaction games and coordination games with pegs.

.
DICES
During my training sessions, I always came back to training with dice games.
The numbers can mean different things, games can be varied in different ways and the focus is once again on the dice and movement.
