Dodgeball

[aboutasoandthis]

I just remembered something.

We had to work out in the weight room in Gym today, for the upteenth time. Today I asked My gym coach if we would ever get to play dodgeball. He told me the principal banned it because of "social standards among students."

At first I thought NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, but I came to realize why they got rid of it. I think it's a stupid reason. To me it's a fun game. No I'm not the best at it, but I loved playing it.

What's your opinion? Share a story if you have one.

I LOVE dodgeball. Especially the variation we would play, Warball. Same thing, except you'd use basketballs, soocer balls and dodgeballs, and after about three people on one team are left, it becomes free roam. Painful shite.

That was a provate school though, they can do whatever they want. My school here tells me that its because the students here are basically assholes. Like they'd aim for the small chicks and hit her in the head. Uncool **** like that.

We don't play dodgeball at our school either

I haven't played it for at least 6 years.
Elementary school, hooray!

It was fun though. I wasn't bad at it.

I lOOOOOOVED dogeball! I used like, matrix EVERY SHOT! I got to chuck balls at girls I liked, and take hits for others I liked as well! I gotta ask my gym teach if we can do that!

I can't throw a ball for the life of me, but I'm impossible to hit. I find it really funny to watch my team mates all get out and then have the other team get all pissed because they had to spend 7 minutes just to get the last guy out.

I find it that the people who go after the balls and other people, are the ones who get out first, that and the fat kids who can't move worth crap (no offence to any 'big' people on charas).

This reminds me of 'dodgeball' the movie, that was great. Chuck Norris was in it

Duh. They are normally the 'biggest' (lol, pun) threat. If it were between a dude that poses no threat and can't throw a ball well, or a dude that constantly hits bullzeyes, who are you going to try and get out first?

I take no offense, DB. I am a big person, yet I am very hard to hit...usually the second to the last or last out. Like MIC though, I cannot throw worth a ****.

Well over here, dodgeball doesnīt exist... But we go two different games that remind alot of dodgeball.

One where there is free-for-all, grab the ball, youīr not allowed to walk with it and just throw it. But you can blo0ck the balls with your hands and head. Oh yeah it is one of those fluffballs filled with...Foam(sp?). On other words, unless you throw hard, they wont hurt. When hit you walk of the field and wait til the person who hit you get hit, then your back in.

And then there is this team based one. Cut the field in half, one team on one half and the other on the other half. BUT at ther far back you get to put one of the oppodite team, like a backstabber really, with limited walking place of course.
You can pass the ball, you can shoot the ball but you canīt move with the ball unless you are the only player left on the field.
If you are hit, you run over to the place were your other teammates are, behind the opposite team hitting them from behind. And when everyone on the field is out, victory. And you use a softball here too.

Ah, dodgeball. Memories of war parties of 12 fighting each other a few years back. Havenīt played it for 2 years now I think. I loved it. I was hard to hit and good throw fairly good. Also, I loved being the last man standing of my team.

Not me. Thats when the coach would call free run and the remaining 12 guys on the other team would drill me with basketballs...

[aboutasoandthis]

Ouch. I can understand a soccerball but even that's pushing it. A basketball? Sure it's a little easier to catch but damn, you'll have little dots put into your face.

Again, I'm not the best, but I am decent at everything. If you're allowed to catch in the game, I'm usually the guy who runs out in front first trying to catch stuff.

It's fun when you're going up against a quarterback or a pitcher. They almost cry when you get them out. XD

I think the general concensus is that if you're on Charas, you can't throw.

I can attest to that, I do that too, except when I get a ball I give it to someone who CAN throw it.. Or I try and usually fail..
