The Craze about DODGEBALL.

The Craze about DODGEBALL.

The sphere whizzed past you, mere inches from your head. A second one comes hurtling towards you - do you jump or duck or sidestep? I don't know about you but for me, the idea of having balls getting thrown at me is quite scary. BUT, it gets the adrenaline pumping as well. And that's a high I like to get 9 times out of 10. Of course, in the case of the dodgeball game, the objective, as the name suggests, is to DODGE the ball. Simple rule, hard to follow! Do you dare take up the challenge? Well, if you do, the first thing you need to do is round up 11 of your mates. All 12 of you get together and form 2 groups. Next, grab 6 dodgeballs. These are usually rubber-coated foam balls. We don’t want anyone having blue black bruises.

Next, head on down to a typical futsal pitch, line the balls at the center line and start the game! Each team grabs 3 balls and throw at the other team. Try not to get hit by a ball coz if you do, you’re out of play. How to get back into play? Hope one of your teammates catches a ball being thrown at them. At the same time, make sure you throw and hit all 6 players of the opposing team to earn 1 point. The team with the most points in 40 minutes wins the match!

Dodgeball revolves a lot around staying on your toes at all times. Move your body limbs quickly. Make sure you communicate with your teammates. There will be a lot of shouting and running around. You will be gasping for breath and your body will be covered in sweat. But don’t you doubt it, there will be a lot of fun too, especially with your mates!
