Dodgeball was the GOAT sport in elementary school. We weren't allowed to play it middle school and up (that might have been a good idea). Nothing better than smacking someone right in the face with one of those rubber balls hearing the sound of impact especially if people who had legs and arms exposed. We had at least 3 different versions growing up.

Only thing better than hitting a person in the face or inflicting pain was waiting for the person who's been out the longest to run back on the court. Soon as they're back again, catch 'em as they step back on the court. People get pissed.

I was a beast in dodgeball back in HS/JR...If there was a pro league, I would've went #1 haha. I remember one game I played in P.E. when my entire team was eliminated accept for me.


There was like 3 remaining on the other team and I was dodging everything they threw me.

Cameback and eliminated 2 outta the three. Then ended up hitting a free throw to get everyone back in & we lit that nikka up. My team started thanking me n shyt..it made me feel good.


There was also time I got hit in the head and thought I had a concussion....nikka threw that bytch like 85-90 mph shyt got real. I was trying to run off the court and kept falling
Dodgeball was my favorite sport. Even the chicks was getting it in Those were the days

Dodgeball should be popular amongst black sports cause we love to see people getting popped.

In high school smart dudes used dodgeball to pop dudes who they didn't like "legally" instead of the normal fight+suspension deal. Also dudes used dodgeball to flirt with girls. It worked too.

If a dude took out a girl you liked all you had to do was eliminate him shortly thereafter and give her that look

When you the last one out there and you catch a ball thrown at you so the rest of the squad is able to come back in...Greatest feeling ever as a 10 year old

Dodgeball taught you some real life lessons. You win some you lose some but you live to fight another day

so much fun

played at summer camps and in school

they didnt let us play at our elementary that much (only middle+hs) so we brought like 20 tennis balls and lined them outside during recess on the concrete and played (elementary). tall red head kid got hit flush in the eye and it got the ban hammer

there are trampoline dodgeball leagues around here..trampoline parks are on a takeover here with slamball too

They remixed dodgeball and trampolines .........

Looks fun, but I feel like the court is to small... , but maybe its a lot more space than I realize

Haha that PING sound. The same sound that was made when we played kickball and somebody would go to catch the ball and it bounced off their chest. Cuz you kno it was the same exact ball
