Dodgeball: Fast-paced fun for all ages

Dodgeball is easy to learn and suitable for all age groups. Thanks to the relatively short playing time, this team game is also perfect for PE lessons. It’s played with 5 or more dodgeballs. Two teams of 6 players each compete against one another. For larger groups, such as school classes, the number of players can be increased. Each team plays on one half of the dodgeball court. At the start, the balls lie in a 3 m-wide neutral zone in the middle of the court. The aim is to gain possession of the balls and hit the players on the opposing team. All players stand on their side of the court and touch their baseline. Three players from each team may then try to grab the balls from the neutral zone and hit their opponents. If a player is hit, they are out. If a player catches an opponent’s throw, the thrower must leave the court and one eliminated player from the catcher’s team may return to the game.
