Student Invented Sport- Airball

In this PE unit, we are doing team-sports. And we are asked to create our own sports in groups. Our game is called the footleyball at first. We first came up with the idea of combining volleyball and football. Like the whole game is like football except you have to keep the ball up like how you do in volleyball. However, after a couple of discussions. We found a way to make it much better and much more unique. You want to know? Please watch the video below.

If you don't get the whole thing after watching the video, please look at these points:

Our game is called the Airball, now.

1. Airball uses the futsal court, and a dodgeball. Airball starts with throwing the ball up in the centre.
2. Players have to keep the ball up in the air, they can use any parts of their body to do so.
3. Whenever the ball touches the ground, anyone can pick it up and play on. However, If the same team continuously drops the ball onto the ground three times, the ball has to switch to the other team.
4. There are one goalie, two defence, one mid, and two attack, there are no locked areas for any player.
5. You can take the dodgeball from the other team when they are passing, or you can pick it up, or when it's in the air… basically all the time.
6. Shooting, for example: If any team-mate passes the ball to A1 (attacker one), and A1 sees A2 is ready to shoot. A1 holds the ball at the first touch (has to be) (the other team can snatch it), he then throws it to A2 and A2 hit the ball in goal.

More information:

1. You can only hold when you get your ball from your team-mate or they pass it to you, and only attackers can hold balls. And basically no team can hold the ball continuously.
2. If the ball gets out of the futsal court, the other team gets the ball, go to the spot where the ball went out, throw it in the air, and hit (pass) it to a player.
3. You can't take the ball from a team and hold it., even if your shooting.
4. If anyone breaks the rule, the game starts again in the circle (but marks stay same of course).
5. You can snatch, bump and there's no need for distance or stuffs…

We got to play our Student Invented Sports (SIS), which is Airball. We found a couple of things can be improved:

• There is no more complicated shooting anymore, so for shooting just shoot. Thus, there is no holding the ball or anything anymore.
• But no one at anytime can go in the semicircle except for the goalie, but the goalie can go anywhere (well it's better to stay in goal sometimes).
• And we found out it is hard to count the "same team drop the ball thrice in a row" thing. Therefore, we change the rule. If a team drop the ball on its side, anyone can pick it up. But when a team drops the ball on the opposite side, the other team gets it.
• We found that two attackers are too difficult to handle because there is only two of them but they cannot drop the ball. And we found that the mid is kind of useless in the futsal, and the futsal is too small to have a mid. So the mid becomes an attacker. So there is 1 goalie, 2 defence, and 3 attackers.
