You can wear sweat bands and high socks, just whaever you do come ready to play some wicked awesome dodgeball games. We do need to post some rules. These are the official dodgeball rules:THE EQUIPMENT
The official ball used in tournament and league play will be an 8" rubber-coated foam ball.
The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "OUT". This may be done by:
1. Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the shoulders.
2. Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.
Definition: LIVE: A ball that has been thrown and has not touched anything, including the floor/ground, another ball, another player, official or other item outside of the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc)
During play, all players must remain within the boundary lines. Players may leave the boundaries through their end-line only to retrieve stray balls. They must also return through their end-line.
Game begins by placing the dodgeballs along the center line – three (3) on one side of the center hash and three (3) on the other. Players then take a position behind their end line. Following a signal by the official, teams may approach the centerline to retrieve the balls. This signal officially starts the contest. Teams may only retrieve the three (3) balls to their right of the center hash. Once a ball is retrieved it must be taken behind the attack-line before it can be legally thrown.
Well I hope this info helps....I will see you all on the court next Sunday afternoon. Meet up at church at 4:30pm in the parking lot....Sign up on Sunday morning in the youth room...
Remeber to Dodge!
