So, you’re asking what dodgeball is all about? It’s simple: The name of the game is to turn the opposing team into glorified spectators! You either launch foam missiles at ’em until they’re out, or show off your cat-like reflexes by catching their throws. Either way, the goal is to be the last squad standing!

Got hit by a ball? You’re on a temporary timeout and must exit the court—no hard feelings! But keep your eyes peeled: if a teammate catches that ball before it hits the ground, you’re resurrected! Think of it as dodgeball’s own version of a “Get Out of Jail Free” card.

Cross the center line? That’s a dodgeball no-no! Do it and you’re called out—like trying to jump the line at a hot nightclub and getting bounced. Stick to your side and keep those sphere-hurling skills in bounds!

What to wear? Think gym class hero, not fashion runway! Comfortable athletic gear and nimble shoes are your go-to. Jewelry? Leave the bling at home; we don’t want any dodgeball-induced fashion emergencies. But hey, who are we to say… you do you, just dodge responsibly!

Well, it’s no knitting circle, but it’s generally a safe bet when played by the rules and with self-awareness. Don’t skip the pre-game warm-ups and stretching—your muscles will thank you! Teamwork makes the dream work, so chat with your teammates to sidestep any mid-air collisions or dodgeball fiascos.

Never played before? No worries! Dodgeball is the “everybody’s welcome” party of sports. Skill level is just a number, so come as you are and prepare to have a blast. Newbies today, dodgeball legends tomorrow!
