Doctor Doctor Dodgeball
How to Play
The usual dodgeball rules:
The game starts with soft dodgeballs on the center line. Players start behind the end line, and at the opening rush, each team retrieves the balls to their right on the center line. The ball must be taken behind the attack line before it can be thrown or after they move back three steps/seconds.
Students take a knee if:
- The ball hits you below the shoulders.
- You throw a live ball, and your opponent catches it.
Students can block a thrown ball with a held ball, but if you drop the blocking ball or the thrown ball still ends up hitting your body, you are out.
A ball is dead and cannot get you out if: It hits the ground or wall or has already hit another player. It is held for longer than 10 seconds.
Doctor Doctor Rules
Each team selects one student to be their DOCTOR.
The Doctor wears a bib/pinnie, so each team knows who they are. The Doctor cannot get hit by the ball.
The Doctor can heal his team’s players who are hit and have taken a knee. They free them by tapping them on the shoulder.
Play for a specific time limit. The winning team is the one that has more players standing up and not on their knees.
