Description

Dodgeball is a team sport in which players throw soft balls at members of the opposing team while trying to avoid being hit themselves. When a player is struck by a ball and it is not caught, they are out. If a player catches a ball thrown by an opponent, the thrower is out, and in some versions, a teammate can return to the game. The match continues until all players on one team are eliminated. Dodgeball is often played in schools, gyms, and recreational leagues.
