Dodgeball, who'd have thought it to be an internationally contested sport?
Kinda why I made this video, but also because it'd help a lot of schools during this pandemic.

I remember playing dodgeball in my high school gym class. That was fun times..

[weedwhacker]

"up to teams of 15"
P.E teachers: *That's some rookie numbers*

What a coincidence, I was wondering if there was a professional Dodgeball league and I watched some highlights, weren't aware of the rules either. Now I do :)

Dang I didn't know this was like a genuine competivie sport with associations and stuff, I just thought it was a game we all played in school.

Great explanation Aligns mostly with the rules I played by in 1st grade back in 1956 in Chicago! Except the rules about stalling. I remember being the only player left on my side, and I ran around collecting 'ammo' before moving up to attack. That took more than 5 or 10 seconds and no one called stalling. Also, think that if a player blocked a ball and the blocking ball got knocked out of their hands, it still counted as a block, but, you know, this was 66 years ago. I enjoyed the sport. No violence, just early lessons on resourcefulness and coping with being prey or predator.

In Poland when I was in school we had position called "mother" that is one player that stand on the back of opponents playfield and can catch the ball and throw it into opponents (and that means that you allways must know what is going behind your back), but mother can't be outed until all of his teammates are out. When all of his teammates he goes to his team playfield and he play alone as a normal player. If morher catch the ball, one of teammate is revised, and mother goes back to her place, but if she is out, team lose game.

Because mother add another side to the game, we use one or two ball only.

Missed out my favourite rule. You can jump over the neutral line and throw the ball before landing, as long as you hit a player your allowed to stay in and have to run back to your own half haha

Will you do the rules of Buzkashi? It is the national sport of Afghanistan and there no rule videos on YouTube. You have a great channel by the way.👍

I always sucked at throwing the ball but somehow good at not getting hit by the ball. It is a fun game, though!

[majapahitnationalist]

Tbh i don’t know there are rules in dodgeball, in highschool i just “throw the ball and don’t get hit”

[simonmacomber]

This is nothing like the dodgeball I played in school. The balls being made of foam so they don't hurt is just one of the differences I remember. They were made of rubber, hard rubber, and they really hurt when they hit you, especially when you were hit in the face. Hitting someone it the face gave the team that threw the ball more points. Especially if you drew blood.

We always played dodgeball with a hockey net on either side. One player would be the goalie and couldn't get out. If someone was able to throw a ball into the opposing net, everyone on their team would be allowed back in

[johngennaria]

Good vid. And I think in ultimate dodgeball it becomes harder to dodge or harder to hit an opponent. The trampoline area allows for innovative and highlight reel dodging. Feels like sort of a Matrix element to the game. Saw some tourney highlights for a league and those guys make the game look easier than it is.

There is a Japanese version of dodgeball where the out or substitute players can catch the ball and attack from sidelines of the opposing team. Surprisingly, this version is popular enough to have its own anime and manga, dodge danpei and the japanese format being replicated alot in many dodgeball videogames then any other format of dodgeball.

Also remember the 5 D's of dodgeball.

Some of my favorite gym classes were dodgeball! Take half a basketball court, use a center line but no neutral zone, no headshots, no returns for catches, holding was allowed (because you were a target if you did!) and you could charge over the line and tag-out if the other team was down to 2 players. The losing team's players did 10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups each, and then we'd all play again, with nobody keeping score. I think it was a way for our coach / phys.ed. teacher to take it easy while we got our exercise in for the day.

Dodgeball was different when/where I went to grade school. There were normally no set "teams, " and the court was circular: There was a giant outer circle with a smaller circle inside of it.

Half (or more) of the class stood outside of the larger circle (offense), the remaining kids were inside the smaller circle (defense). The offense would be given some balls (usually two or three kickballs), and would have to hit people on the defensive team. If the person on the defensive team was hit, (usually, it had to be below the waist, and it didn't matter if the ball bounced), that person would switch to the offensive team, usually taking the ball with him/her. If a ball came to a stop (or a near-stop) inside the large circle, the offensive team could elect to trade a player for it (usually sending the unfortunate expendable in to retrieve the ball), or they could throw a ball at it to hit it out of the large circle. If a defensive team member caught the ball thrown by the offensive team before it bounced, the offensive team member that threw it would switch to the defensive team. If an offensive team member went inside the large circle, or a defensive team member went outside the large circle, they'd be pulled out of the game (barring exchanges). The game usually turned into an "odd man out" sort of game, and ended when the last defensive player was hit.

here in Brazil we play like this: When you are hit you go to an area behind the other team (which is the already dead zone) and if the ball gets there the dead can throw back to their own team, if the ball crosses 3 times the dead can also kill people from the other team. so as the game goes on people get attack from both sides. we play with maximun 2 balls because it gets crazy!
