Discover the sport

Dodgeball.
You almost know the rules already.

The schoolyard game becomes a genuine team sport: fast, tactical, accessible and far more technical than it first appears.

The idea

Easy to understand.
Deep to play.

The aim is to eliminate opposing players by hitting them with a ball, catching a throw or forcing an opponent out of bounds. The game combines accuracy, timing, dodging, communication and strategy.

The rules are simple enough to start quickly. The more you play, the more tactical depth you discover.

The basics

Four instincts that explain the game.

01

Hit

A direct hit on an opponent eliminates that player.

02

Catch

A successful catch eliminates the thrower and allows one eliminated teammate to return.

03

Dodge

Movement, changes of pace and reading the throw are essential.

04

Play together

Dodgeball is a team sport: communication, coordinated throws and creating opportunities make the difference.

Beyond the rules

Easy to understand. Much harder to master.

Throwing speed, feints, awareness, positioning, team timing and endurance make dodgeball a complete sport. That mix is what makes it exciting to watch and addictive to play.
