description Dodgeball Overview
Dodgeball is a team game in which players throw balls at members of the opposing team while trying to avoid being struck themselves.

The sport is commonly used in physical education and recreational settings because it combines throwing, catching, movement, and team coordination.
help Dodgeball FAQ
How do you play dodgeball?
Two teams throw balls at opposing players while avoiding being hit. Rules vary, but a hit player may leave the court or enter an out area, and some formats allow a player to return if a teammate catches a thrown ball.
What happens when a player catches a dodgeball?
A catch commonly eliminates the thrower and may also bring one eliminated teammate back into play. The exact effect depends on the local rule set, so players should agree on catch and rebound rules before starting.
How many balls are used in dodgeball?
There is no single worldwide number because school, recreational, and tournament formats differ. Many games begin with several balls placed along a center line, rather than using only one ball.
What equipment is needed for dodgeball?
You need a marked playing area and soft dodgeballs suitable for the players' age group. Indoor court shoes and clear boundaries help reduce slips and disputes, while headshots are commonly discouraged or penalized.
