ATTACK
The aim of the game is to eliminate all the opposition. Hit an opposing player on the full with a ball and they are out.
​
Catch on the full a player that attacks you and you will also get them out. Bonus: you get a player back in!
DEFEND
Use the ball in your hand as a shield to deflect any incoming attacks. Careful to not accidentally deflect into yourself or a teammate otherwise you can eliminate yourselves!
​
Keep a firm hold of your shield, if it gets knocked out your hands that is called a 'disarm' and you are out!
TEAMWORK
Each team has 6 players a side. Utilise all your members to become the best team in the league!
​
Everyone has a skill that can be used in Dodgeball. Are your teammates catchers, great dodgers, strong throwers or great at calling tactics? Make sure you find out!
