Dodgeball Hit >>

maybe the liberals running the school system have a point. I know that many school no longer allow dodge ball because of the violence associated with it and the high rate of injuries.

We played with those dark red rubber balls that went "poooongggg" when they hit you. The worst I ever saw was a kid with a red face for a couple of hours, and maybe a bloody nose. There is no way you can really get hurt unless you use a harder ball like a soccer or volleyball.

We played all boys teams, and personally I think it was a fun and exciting game. The big guys didn't always win either, they may have thrown the hardest but the skinny little ginks that could zip around and move like a wet noodle always seemed to be there in the end also, I think actually "getting in the game" and being aggressive was more important than a strong arm was.
