Dodgeball

What is Dodgeball?

Dodgeball is an electrifying team sport where players aim to eliminate opponents by hitting them with a thrown ball or catching their throw.

Catches bring teammates back into the game, adding nonstop twists. Players dodge, dive, and block to stay in play, making every moment a thrilling battle of agility, strategy, and teamwork.

Fast-paced and unpredictable, dodgeball keeps players and spectators on the edge of their seats. It’s simple to learn, exhilarating to play!
