Wheelball[edit]

"'Wheelball' from the words (Wheel - "ring" or "wheel" and Ball - "ball ") is a collective sport played between two wheelball teams, made up of seven players each. Wheelball is a new sport that originated in Serbia. The authors of Vilbal are Predrag Jović - Joe and Vladan Vučković - Vlaja, both from Vladičin's Han. Wheelball sport is patented in Serbia, in 27 EU countries, in United Kingdom and in the world. The umbrella sports association for the Wheelball sport is SWA (Serbian Wheelball Association). Wheelball sport is currently only played in Serbia, and it can be played by people of all ages and both sexes. It is played with a soccer ball on a round playing field with a grass or artificial surface. The wheelball gates (doors) are placed opposite each other, while there are four wheelball bases on the sides. The goal of the game is to throw the ball into the opponent's base, into the opponent's goal and into the opponent's hoop with any part of the body and even with the hand if the goalkeeper does it. The winner is the team that scores more fairies (hits) in the end.

Nature of Wheelball game[edit]

All participants, 14 wheelball players, do everything in accordance with the rules of the game to keep the ball in the possession of their wheelball team and to pass it to the opponent's base, i.e. the gate or wheell. The wheelball team that scores more goals at the end of the game is the winner. Wheelball is played according to regulations called the rules of the Wheelball game.

What at first glance distinguishes Wheelball sport from other team sports is the shape of the field. It is a regular circle with a grass surface, with a diameter of 60 m, therefore, a perfect geometric shape that does not exist in known team sports. Such shape and dimensions of the field require significantly smaller financial investments in the construction of the stadium and the maintenance of the field compared to football, which is of great importance for a sport that has yet to develop, which is why its size varies because the possibility of playing matches on existing soccer fields — where the diameter of the wheelball field would be the largest width of the already existing football field. The pitch with a perfect geometric shape completely changes the concept of the game in relation to all existing team sports, everything is different, starting from tactics and formation to the very movement of the wheelballers and the new tasks that are set before them during the game.

There are two central frames of the wheelball goal (gate) facing each other in an arched shape, 4.8 m wide, defended by a wheelball goalkeeper (goalkeeper), and on the highest part of the arch there is a vertically placed ring with a diameter of 1 m (wheel), while on both sides on the sides , symmetrically from the central line, there are two smaller arched wheelball goals (bases), 2.4 meters wide. Such a shape of the field, the position of the wheelball goal frames and the scoring of wheelball goals requires a completely different approach to the game by the wheelball players and wheelball coaches, and with their skill, creativity and imagination leads to the most diverse possible formations, tactics and strategies of the teams, because in wheelball the focus of the game is not exclusively on the main frames goals (gates), but in all parts of the field.

The position of the "base" side goals, unlike in football, shifts the focus of the game to the sides of the field because, in addition to 1 point, a goal also means the elimination of one opposing wheelball player from the field. A goal in the central frames (gate) defended by the goalkeeper (goalkeeper) brings 2 points, and a goal in the hoop (wicket) brings 3 points and represents a particularly attractive moment of the game. This way of scoring ensures frequent changes in results, more uncertainty and excitement for the audience as well as for the players of the match, because during the match the power ratio will change from 6:6 to 6:5 and 6:4, which poses great trials and challenges for coaches and players.

The number of players, 6+1 goalkeeper, as many reserve players as there are, is the optimal number for a field of that size. With that number of players, sufficient coverage of the field and goals is ensured, and the "crowding" of players in a small space, which does not allow the development of the game, is avoided. After "conquering the bases", that number decreases even more, and more space is obtained for attractive attacks and counterattacks. A smaller number of players means less financial resources for the "playing staff", which is very important to club owners and financiers. An unlimited number of substitutions ensures a high tempo of play from start to finish and allows players to be substituted repeatedly, thus avoiding physical exhaustion players and leaves coaches with the possibility of combining players ideally in all periods of the game and with all formations and results. The duration of the wheelball match is 45 minutes, divided into 3 periods of 15 minutes each, with breaks between the first and second and second and third periods of 10 minutes each.

The duration of 45 minutes guarantees a minimum of 180 attacks per game if both teams use all 20 seconds of the time limit for an attack, but in practice there are many more attacks for the satisfaction of the crowd. In the event of a tie, the game is extended for the time necessary for penalty kicks. The stoppage time, which is in charge of the 4th referee, ensures 45 minutes of active play, because at every, even the smallest interruption, out, foul, goal or injury, the stopwatch stops, and starts again only when the ball moves on the field. This avoids "stealing time" for the sake of saving results. Limiting the time of attack to 20 seconds and keeping the ball at the goalkeeper for 7 seconds is another important rule that prevents inactive play and prevents "endless" passes on the field by teams that are leading by the score and have no motivation for further attacks.

This rule forces wheelballers to play and think faster and is a key rule in the fight for a dynamic game that results in quick combinations, maneuvers and numerous shots towards the goal frames, because the time limit is the strongest driver for wheelballers. Violations (fouls) and bonuses are rules necessary to achieve a clean game devoid of roughness, because the limit of fouls is only 3 fouls per one third or a total of 9 in the game. This rule reduces the "slicing" of the game, player injuries and aggressiveness, and on the other hand, it increases the efficiency of the teams. When one wheelball team meets the allowed foul bonus, each subsequent foul until the end of the period is sanctioned with a penalty shot. A rough foul allows the referee to eject a player until the end of the period, and an obviously intentional kick without the ball (fist, head, foot) and until the end of the match. In such cases of removal from the field, the sanctioned players are replaced by reserve players so that the team is not harmed in any way. Penalty kicks are awarded after the completion of the bonus and deliberate handball, and depending on the part of the field where the foul is committed, two types of penalty kicks are taken, which represents another attractive sporting moment that exists only in wheelball. If the foul occurs in the triangle of one of the wheelball bases, the wheelballer performs a penalty kick from the center into the undefended frame of the wheelball base from a distance of 30 m, and if it occurs in the area of the central frames of the wheelball gates (goals), then a penalty kick is performed into the defended frame or wheel with distance of 9 m.(The Nine)

No tie is one of the key rules of wheelball because a tie is not in the spirit of the sport and increases the possibility of calculations both in and out of the game itself. The meaning of the sport is, among other things, that there is a winner and a loser, and if the wheelball match ends in a draw in the regular part, penalty kicks are taken to ensure the winner. When there is no option of a draw, there are no teams that, especially in football, come forward with the intention of defending frantically and in every way deadening the game instead of outplaying the opponent. In wheelball, teams have no choice, they have to attack to defend! Although inspired by football, the differences are huge, starting from the very concept of the game, to the completely different dimensions and shape of the field, the frame and number of goals, the calculation of results, the rules of judging, the duration of the game, the number of players, the rules about substituting players, the way the ball is taken from the outfield, different penalty kicks, the absence of tied results, the principle of eliminating one or two players after the loss of one or both bases, different punitive measures up to the setting of tactics and strategy of the game. Compared to other sports, the differences are even more drastic. Wheelball is a very attractive and dynamic new sport, which is similar enough but also different enough compared to all existing team sports and which is designed to extract all the potential from players and coaches, to the general satisfaction of spectators and all fans of the sport.

Wheelballplayers, wheelballequipment and referees[edit]

Each wheelball team consists of a maximum of 7 players (not counting substitutes or reserves), one of whom must be a wheelball goalkeeper wheelballgoalkeeper. The rules of the competition determine the minimum number of players required to create a wheelball team, which is usually seven. The goalkeeper can use his hand or palm and move with the ball in his hands only within the 30m in front of his goal, from where he can also score a goal with his hand into the opponent's base, and if he crosses the center he can lead the ball as a goalkeeper-wheelballplayer. Although the other wheelball players are assigned by the coach, there are no restrictions regarding their positions and movements. Basic equipment required for a performance includes a t-shirt, shorts, socks (pock), shoes and adequate shin guards. They must not carry anything that is dangerous to an opposing wheelball player or the wheelball player himself; no jewelry, not even a wedding ring. Only the wheelball referee may, that is, should wear a watch. Wheelball Goalkeepers must have different equipment (different color jersey) than teammates, opposing wheelball players and referees.

No offside[edit]

The match is refereed by the Chief Wheelball Referee, who has full authority to enforce all the rules of the game during the match for which he is selected to officiate. The decision of the Chief Referee is final. The head referee is assisted by assistant wheelball referees, and everywhere there should be a fourth judge, although the Serbian Wheelball Association (SWA) does not require it. The main role of the fourth referee is to help the other three referees and, if necessary, replace one of them, due to an injury, for example.
