Those of us who are older remember Dodgeball & the sport. It hurt! Do they still play it? What did you think of it? Those balls were just way too hard & some kids could be quite vicious. That’s one game I don’t mind never playing again.

We used to play it in gym class. And yes it did hurt. Not sure why they would subject us to that.

Oh man that looks like you could get badly bruised or injured. Thankfully we don't have it in Ireland.

Oh man that looks like you could get badly bruised or injured. Nah, the balls were soft enough you wouldn't get seriously injured. I loved and was very good at this game. I doubt they play it anymore in schools.

And yes it did hurt. Not sure why they would subject us to that. Thank you for the video & the memories! Not so pleasant memories lol Oh man that looks like you could get badly bruised or injured. Thankfully we don't have it in Ireland. It was painful. Some kids could really throw the balls hard at you. I haven't heard of dodgeball at all. Must be more in the USA & Canada then. Nah, the balls were soft enough you wouldn't get seriously injured. I loved and was very good at this game. I doubt they play it anymore in schools. Depending on who threw it lol We got hurt at our school.
A search said some schools have banned it while others use a softer, lighter ball.

I enjoyed playing it while growing up in school, we used soft/firm balls so it never really hurt (much), I was pretty good at dodging, so I kept the games going long.

That was the main key to not getting hurt. The Dodge aspect! I loved it. I always liked playing it. Some people could be quite good at it.

I remember playing that along with jail break which was very similar to dodgeball. I still remember what the ball smells like lol, I never was good at the game though. In dodgeball you just have to dodge the ball, you still have to do that in jail break but if you're lucky to hit the basketball hoop with your ball, you can release all your teammates who were "sent to jail" when they got hit by the ball.

I'm not familiar with Jail Break. I don't remember the smell either lol
Anybody remember that one?
