Dodgeball Rules:
- Each team will consist of 6 players with 2 teams competing at a time. There will be 6 dodgeballs in play each game.
- Games will last 5 minutes. If one team is not eliminated at the end of the five minutes, the team with the most players still in wins.
- Dodgeballs will be lined up at center court at the start of each game. Players must keep their feet behind the starting line until the whistle blows or they will be eliminated. At the whistle, players from each team will run to the center line to retrieve the dodgeballs. Players may NOT cross the center line when retrieving dodgeballs. If a player crosses the center line, they will be eliminated.
- After retrieving the dodgeballs from the center line, players must go back behind the starting line before beginning to throw at the opposing side.
- Players must stay in bounds and on their own side at all times. If a player crosses the center line, they will be eliminated. If a player goes past the sideline boundaries, they will be eliminated. Dodgeballs must be thrown at the other team from BEHIND the center line.
- Players are eliminated when a “live” ball hits them below their shoulders. A “live” ball is defined as one that comes straight from an opposing player’s hand. A “live” ball cannot have touched the floor or have been deflected from any other surface or player. When a player is hit by a “live” ball, they are out.
- If a “live” ball is caught, the player that threw the caught ball is eliminated. The team that caught the ball can bring one of their eliminated players back into the game. A “live” ball can also be deflected by a player holding a dodgeball as long as the “live” ball is completely deflected by the ball and does not touch any part of the player’s body. If the deflected ball hits an opposing player, they are out.
