# Dodgeball

### From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dodgeball is a sport played by throwing soft balls at people in a square court. The goal is to be the last one to be hit with the ball. You may only throw balls at people who are not on your team. If you are hit by the ball, you should be out of the court. From outsides you can throw the ball to the inside, to hit your opposite players.

Dodgeball is often played in elementary schools. It is thought good for physical education. Many school children play this game. In recent years many adults who played it as children have formed adult leagues and clubs. Also some schools have banned it due to the fact that some kids got hurt, when playing the game.

Dodgeball, due to its recent popularity inspired a film Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, and a game show, Extreme Dodgeball.
