The task of the material

The material is designed for clubs, schools, residential complexes and families planning a friendly event with participants of different ages

Рабочий порядок

Формируйте команды так, чтобы взрослые и дети выполняли разные, но равнозначные роли. Можно использовать короткие игры до семи очков, обязательную смену подающего, бонус за длинный розыгрыш или отдельные станции перед матчами. Гандикап вводится заранее и одинаково для всех похожих пар. Между раундами участники не должны долго ждать: добавьте точность подачи, эстафету с мячом или семейный квиз по правилам.

First, formulate a task in one sentence, then list the resources available, the constraints, and the expected outcome, and then choose the tool after that, not because it's familiar or popular

Start with three checksannounce adapted rules in advance; balance out; limit the duration of matches.

What to check

  • announce adapted rules in advance
  • balance out
  • limit the duration of matches
  • stage off-court
  • Awarding a few achievements, not just first place

How to evaluate the outcome

The result must be observable: time, number of participants, load, cost, series of precise actions or confirmed status. The overall impression is useful, but does not replace the initial and final value

Typical errors

You don't have to do the usual adult grid and just let the kids in, and the big imbalance quickly makes the event meaningless, and the other mistake is counting the bonuses too hard, and nobody understands the game

Limitations of decision

Private experiences cannot be automatically transferred to another venue, audience, or scale: Save the goal and change the way you do it if you have fewer resources or higher cost of error

Следующий шаг

Для первого события выберите круговой формат на четыре-шесть команд и финальную совместную игру. Сценарий должен помещаться на одну страницу.

A brief conclusion

Set one next step, the one responsible and the deadline. After you do that, compare the fact to the plan. Only then add new complexity or zoom in

Frequent questions

Do I need a separate account for the children

Sometimes yes, but the overall team result is better at supporting the family idea if the roles and handicaps are balanced

What account do you use

Short games up to seven or eleven points make timing easier and allow more different meetings to be held
