Training Treibball
At this stage, most people in New Zealand have to rely on online resources to learn Treibball. As these resources are based overseas and train for a different set of rules, it pays to read the TANZ rules before starting so you can modify your training to account for the differences. However, the fundamentals of Treibball are all the same, and you are pretty safe with any form of foundation training, regardless of which country it has come from.
This page provides some links to various learning opportunities. If you know of a great video, book, online class, actual class, or private trainer that could be included here, please get in touch. Please note that only positive, reward-based training methods are acceptable.
