Equipment: Dodgeball strategies, secrets and tips: Part 2 of 7

What stuff should you be bringing with you to your dodgeball match?

• Wear shoes with good treads, you don't want to slip, that would be deadly.
  
  
• Wearing team uniforms does actually intimidate your opponents. If your team shows any signs from the start that you are good, that fear is then magnified by the uniforms. I know I was scared of a couple teams that seemed to have their act together. It's also cool to have matching wristbands and headbands. You can get 'em at Amazon: solid headbands, solid wristbands, and striped wristbands.
  
  
• As mentioned in tip 1, bring some balls and warmup before the game. The National Amateur Dodgeball Association uses 8-inch foam balls. They sell them for $20 on their site. You can get them for $13.88 on S&S Worldwide
  
  8" Gator Skiný Special Available in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, so you can buy a color ball to match your uniform. My team's main color is blue, so we practice with blue balls. ;-)
  
  
• Avoid wearing clothes that are overly baggy. If the ball hits any part of your clothing, you are out.
  
  
• Bring water bottles, the sport is deceptively tiring. The adrenaline rush alone will wipe you out.
