Attack strategies: Dodgeball strategies, secrets and tips: Part 4 of 7

The game of Dodgeball is great for devising creative ways to attack. Here's a few ideas.

  • Aim for the best throwers first. You want to get them out, so they don't eliminate any of your players.

  • Point at a certain player casually and then throw at a different one. (the pointing can't be too obvious)

  • Here's a neat play called the Statue of Liberty. Hold the ball behind your back, and then have one of your teammates run behind you, grab the ball, and then immediately throw for a shocker.

  • Another from the play book could be synchronized running where you and a teammate run in a diagonal and cross paths, then throw.

  • As soon as one of your opponents is hit, aim for another one. There's that brief moment of time where people are stunned when one of their teammates get hit. It's a great one-two punch.

  • We haven't tried this one, but maybe there is some sort of scream before attacking to shock your opponent. But then again, we want a lazy nonaware opponent. Once you yell, that perks them to be more attentive.
This is a part four of a seven-part series every Wednesday of Dodgeball strategies covering: 1) Pre-Game, 2) Equipment, 3) Throwing Techniques, 4) Attack Strategies during the Game, 5) Ball Control, 6) Distractions, and 7) Catching.

I find it helpful sometimes to throw the ball at a player who already has a ball or even better two its much harder to catch the ball if you already have one in your hand or two. I also would suggest trying to catch a ball that is hard to catch and that your probably goonna drop only when you have many players and the other team has only one player because you could catch it and end it and even if you drop it you still have a good advantege.

yelling works when your whole team does it

Another good attack strategy comes into play when the number of players on your team either slightly outnumbers the other team or is equal. Say it's down to 3 on 3 and your team has 3 balls and the other team two. Position two of your players with one ball each in the middle of the court. Send the third out to the side as a flank. When the opponents work together to throw at the same time at your two teammates in the middle, throw from the side flank to get them out during the throwing motion, or at least to distract them.

Get 2 balls, lob one up in the air to be caught by the other team. They'll go for it trust me.Then as they try to catch it whip the other ball at them getting them out. this also works with two people each having a ball. one lobs the other gets the glory

I don't know about other leagues but ours has to have 2 girls playing and 4 guys. Well, we always aim for the girls (or weaker) players first to get them out. The strategy behind that is when the game gets close and there's 2on2, the weaker player goes in, instead of the best player to win the game. Always works!

The balls we play with flat out fly. They are impossible to catch and the best strategy is just to throw them right at someone's chest. Using balls to block throws also works really well

My league plays where at the start, each team has 3 balls, but they have to run to the middle to get them, and get back behind the 1/3 line of their court to throw.
I don't know if that's how most of the leagues play, but if you are in a league that does that, here is a good starting attack[also requires the standard 6-player limit]:
Usually a team will have 3 start on each side, so what your team should do is have everyone pick a partner and line up 5 people on the side where your balls are and 1 person on the side where the opponents' balls are. The faster of the 2 partners should go for the balls, and throw them back to their partners. The player on the opposite side will get an easy shot at the opponent to put them down one early.

Personally, I think screaming when you run at a opponent is highly effective. I would only do it if the person is aware of y ou though, because otherwise you could ambush them. However, when the person is aware of you it is a great idea. Numerous times I have ran at them screaming and just pegged them even though they had a ball ready to throw.

Everyone has their own type of advantage in the game. If you're small, you can dodge. If you're big, you've got power and can throw the ball fast. Find out what your strength is and play it.
