Queue area. Substitutes may enter the game only during a timeout or in case of injury.

Players:

The court should be 60ft x 30ft (size of volleyball court), divided into two equal sections by a Center Line. An Attack Line

is measured 10ft from the Center Line on each side, marking the area you are allowed to throw from.

The Court:

The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them out. This is done by:

Hitting an opposing player’s body or clothing below the shoulders.

Catching a ball thrown by your oppenent before it hits the ground.

Playing The Game:

During play, all players must remain inside boundary lines. Players can leave the boundaries only to retrieve stray balls,

but can never cross the center line.

Boundaries:

Game begins by evenly placing the 6 dodgeballs along the Center Line as shown. Players then take a position

behind their End Line. Upon the official's signal, both teams rush to center court and attempt to retrieve as many

balls as possible. A team may rush with as many or as few players as it wants, but at least one person from each

team has to Rush. There is no limit to how many balls an individual player may retrieve.

Putting Ball Into Play: Once a ball is retrieved it must be taken behind the Attack Line before it can be legally thrown. There are several ways to put a ball into play following a Rush. • A player carries the ball across the attack line. • A player passes the ball a teammate who is behind or carries it across the attack line. Blocking: • Players can defend themselves by blocking the ball in flight with another ball but must retain control over the ball they are blocking with.
