Dodgeball Unit
How to Play • The typical Dodgeball court is about the size of a small Volleyball court, with a centerline and 2 sidelines. • The objective of dodgeball is to eliminate all players of the opposing team by getting them “out”. -You are out if: 1) you step on or over a sideline or centerline 2) a thrown live ball hits your body 3) you throw a live ball and it is caught by an opponent
• 6 players on each team • At the start there are 6 balls evenly divided at the center of the court. • You can only hold a ball for 10 seconds, afterwards, it will be considered dead and must be rolled over immediately to the other team. • You may block a thrown ball with a held ball. If the blocking ball is dropped you are “out”. • If you catch a ball one of your eliminated players may reenter
• A thrown live ball can only hit out 1 player. Thrown balls that hit the ground, other balls, or other objects before hitting the opponent are considered dead balls, and can no longer get players out. • As you get “out” stand on the sideline in the order you were taken out to possibly reenter. You cannot participate by any means when out. • The balls can be shared with your teammate. • AVOID INTENTIONALLY HITTING SOMEONE IN THE FACE OR YOU WILL BE “OUT”!!
