Title: Rugby Handball
For our Fitness Blast, our group has decided to design a game call Rugby Handball which is basically described by the title. It is a mix of both the elements that come from the sports of rugby and handball. The structure of the game is closely related to handball in which the objective of the game is to move the ball from one end to the other and score in the net without entering the crease. By incorporating rugby, it makes the game more complex and fun because now it adds elements that may seem strange but at the same time fun. The ball can now only be passed backwards like in the game of rugby, except for shooting which can go forwards into the net. For safety reasons, since we are using a rugby ball, there will be no goalie meaning more strategy for both teams facing each other will have to be incorporated. …show more content…

Students/players (Sam)
Gymnasium
25 Four different colored belts for teams(Jonah)
Music (Sam’s playlist)
Creative piece used in presentation: Music, demonstrations of how the game is played
Motivation will be ensured through the competitiveness of players in this class. Also with music it will add energy and a sense of participation and awareness to the class. Safety will be presented by explanation of the game and through the guidance of the referees. Maximum student participation will be achieved by splitting up the class into four teams making sure that everyone plays at the same time. Also the guidance of the refs will insure that students do not hog the ball.
