Dodgeball

Dodgeball, also known as Völkerball, is used in English-speaking countries as a generic term for all dodgeball games.

A classic school game, it has conquered the sports world in recent years.

All dodgeball games/variants have one common feature: they involve throwing, dodging, and catching balls.

The various variants mainly differ in terms of the playing field (number of zones), the balls (number, size, material), the players (number), and the specific rules/values.
