Dodge ball is a classic game that has been enjoyed by generations of children. It's a game that requires speed, agility and quick reflexes, making it a great way to get active and have fun. At its core, dodge ball is a game of throwing and dodging. The aim is to eliminate players on the opposing team by hitting them with a ball, while also avoiding getting hit yourself. The game is fast-paced and exciting, with players constantly on the move to avoid being hit.

Dodge ball is not only a fun game, but it also helps children develop important skills such as hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness and teamwork. It's a great way for children to stay active, improve their fitness levels and make new friends. We believe that dodge ball is a fantastic way for children to have fun while also staying active and learning new skills.
