An introduction to Dodgeball

Dodgeball is a fast paced, high intensity, non-contact sport played by two teams of six players. The aim of dodgeball is to eliminate your opponent before they eliminate you. This can be done by hitting them out with your thrown ball or by catching a ball thrown by the opposition. International competitions typically take place over the course of two or three days and each team plays several matches per day with each match consisting of two 15 minute halves.
