Tactics

Tchoukball is played on a simple pitch which can vary in size depending on the number of players and level of players. At either end of the pitch is a rebound surface (see left) and teams can score in both ends. An outline of the pitch can be seen below with a D around each rebound surface which plays an important part in point scoring. (see below)

- Each team can make a maximum of 3 passes

- Each player may take a maximum of 3 steps

- The handball can be thrown at either rebound surface

- A point is scored to the team without the ball if (i) the throw misses the rebound surface (ii) the ball bounces in the D (iii) the ball hits the player who threw it.

- A point is scored to the team with the ball if it bounces into the air and touches the ground outside the D before the opposing team can catch it.

- If neither occurs then play continues.
