Cageball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cageball is a sport invented by the football coach Jörg Berger in October 2002, seeking a way to play association football despite bad winter conditions.[1] The sport resembles Nike's Secret Tournament campaign.
Playing field
Cageball is played on artificial turf. The playing field is usually 23x15 metres, but can vary due to hall constraints. The entire field is surrounded by a one-metre-high wall or fence, out of which extends a net. This way, the ball is always in play, obsoleting all out-of-bound rules. Usually, a team consists of three field players and a goalkeeper, the latter which can also assume a "flying" role.
Rules
Normal football rules apply when it comes to fouls and deliberate hand usage. Free kicks must be immediately carried out. The offside is not observed, and there are no throw-ins or goal kicks.
