France has lightsabers? Germany has Jugger!
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181185170https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugger
Adapted from a post-apocalyptic movie. Two teams fight each other with padded versions of sword&shield, longsword, battle-staff, spear, chain...
Depending on the rules of the local league, you might also double-wield swords or use giant maces.
If you get hit, you have to kneel down for some 10 seconds before you are allowed to rejoin the fight.
Each team has a "runner" (who is unarmed but may wrestle with opponents) and only these two are allowed to touch the ball. If a runner gets hit, he must drop the ball. The goal is to clear the way for your team's runner so he can carry the ball to the opposing team's end-zone.
