World Cup 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.
World Cup Dodgeball Rules
Each player selects which country they want to represent.
The players try to knock the opposing players out of the game. If all the players on one side of the court are hit, you then move half of the remaining players across. Then let them continue playing.
Once there are only two players remaining, this is ‘The World Cup Final’
The remaining player left is crowned the World Cup Champion!
