OWA - How To Play Dodgeball


My favourite game is dodgeball because it is a very simple, easy and fun game to play. There are many versions of Dodgeball including Doctor Dodgeball and Elimination Dodgeball but we'll stick with Elimination Dodgeball because it's easier to play. The objective of the game is to not get hit with the ball by the opposing team and to get many people from the opposing team out. How play is very simple. First, you need to find a large rectangluar field, preferably the size of a gym you would normally find in a school. That field needs to have lines dividing the field into two congruent seperate rectangles. Second, you need to find many soft balls.  About one dodgeball for every 3 people. For example, 5 dodgeballs for 18 people or 7 dodgeballs for for 20 people. If you feel, that there is not enough dodgeballs, add more to the game. Third, place the dodgeballs in the centre line of the area and make all the players go to the 2 ends of the field; one team goes to one end and the other goes to the other end. Countdown backwards from 3. 3. 2. 1. Game's on! Start the game with everyone running to get the ball but be careful! If you get hit with a dodgeball by the other team, you're out! The game ends when everyone has become out. To become out, the dodgeball has to hit you below the waist and may not bounce before hitting the player. If the ball bounces before hitting the player, the player is not out. But, if the ball doesn't bounce, the player is out. Start the game and have fun!
