Dodgeball anyone?.......

[Dadsguns]

I stay active playing different outdoor sports through the year, softball, water skiing, football, etc, I thought about getting involved with Dodgeball, At 40 yrs old I still have a pretty good arm and just love the sound that ball makes when you ping someone with it...    There are several teams in this area and it seems to be growing to be a popular sport.

Anyone out there play on one of these team leagues?  Doesn't seem to cost much more than joining a Softball league, is there any hidden costs or expenses that you will have to fork up for travel?

I just read about the dodgeball open in Obscure Sports Quarterly. $50,000 1st place prize!

I hear you can use a wrench to practice.  If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a dodge ball.

How long until this sport is outlawed as too violent?

Hehe Bodhi hockey is still around ain't it.  They need to make this part of school again.  Might get more kids playing outside again.

Hockey is kinda still around.  It's not the same game I played growing up.

Think about it though... seesaws, jungle gyms, tether ball... all gone.  Why?  They were only dangerous to those that needed weeding out to begin with.

God I loved dodgeball as a kid... It was the only thing we would play at recess... Now it's been banned at my old elementary because some kid fell down. Load of crap IMHO

[zoozoo]

my school has dodgeball every thurday night for 4 hours, theres about 20 college kids and 70 highschool kids that go, great fun!

for those of you that are not in rolling thunder, we play a game where we try to guess what dads is eating while he's playing.

so i guess the question is dads, what the perfect dodgeball food?  i know it's not nachos, too hard to dip while your busy bobin and weavin.

Back when I was in school we played a version called Murder Ball.

Good times...

The show Wreckreation Nation had a segment on the dogeball championships in Denver.  At first I though it was going to be weird seeing a bunch of middle age people playing an elementary game but by the end of the show I wanted to get in there and play.  Some of those guys are throwing the ball at over 70 mph.
