these are very funny and cool to try...maybe i will try them this year at the dodgeball tournament in schaumburg...wat are the prizes for those anyways???

Hey. We just started dodgeball league here. We played 6 games and won one! lol. These secrets and tips will definitley help me in future playings. Thanks.

These tips are a joke! I've played in a dodgeball league for two years now. Anyone decides to become a gymnast and do a cartwheel they aren't a distraction. They're easy prey!!! You don't gain anything from that. For all you rookies here is a championship tip:

-Keep the balls to the outside and opposite. For example, if you have three balls, keep two on the left and one on the far right. The far right is the sniper, once the two on the left throw the right side should "cover" those people. Guarenteed you will catch someone napping or at least protect your people

John, good tips on having balls split on the left and right.

Although the cartwheel was kinda meant as a joke, but in a way it does echo what your split ball technique does. You have two guys on the left throwing and then the dude on the right follows up. Similiar to this is to have the cartwheeler on the left, with the thrower on the right. Or you could even position someone close to the cartwheeler so when people throw at the cartwheeler, someone can jump in and catch the ball.

That makes sense. I understand the cartwheel was a joke. I was just excited to see a site as in to dodgeball as I am. Got a little carried away.

Another tip I want to throw out and tell me what you think:

Our rules allow blocking with the ball. I think the most effective intimidation whether you have an arm or not is knocking the ball away and then charging the line. One, your opponent is closest to you and two, they are usually backpedaling and not thinking as quick. A good low throw should nail them

well i want to thank you for all your tips. six of my friends and I are in a dodgeball tourney on dec. 19 and we are pumped. we are all pretty good but now we will have the edge. The winner of this will compete against the statewide best. then i believe after that at a national tourney. wish us luck =D.

thanks for the tips! i found out that i was great when trying to beat the best team, but we lost against the now 2nd best team, finland. sorta dissapointing, but i'm hoping to beat mexico and tanzania! i know both of their weaknesses.

very good tips, I'd try them sometime.

Another great distraction strategy is to pretend you're holding a ball behind your back when your teammate and opponent both have balls. When your opponent gets ready to throw, fake your throw while your teammate throws. Usually this technique distracts your opponent for a split second and gives your teammate a better chance for success.

hehe i might do a cartweel... well maybe not those go to slow maybe one with no hand or a backhandspring or a back flip full twist ... those are a lot faster if you can do them plus i'm playing for a make a wish foundation to raise $$ at school... hehehe sorry forgot to mention I am a gymnast.

Well i will let you know how it turn out!

this is really funny, i actually started to laugh out loud, and evry1 in the library started staring at me :$

i just started my first dodgeball team this year, my school has an annual dodgeball tournament for charity. im glad i found this site, and these distractions seem pretty awesome. ill definitely try them.

Thank you very much, I managed to let a learning opportunity!

nnnn

this is by far the worst website i have ever been to listen, u are either good at catching a ball or not wow this is possibly the most special ed thing ever.

i'm the captain of my own team, and we just dance, a whole team dancing not only distracts an opponent, but is really galling when a whole team sops dancing and eliminates 3 or 4 players in quick succession.

This season I have not really been into the dodgeball madness. I've been trying to get the coordinators to make it co-ed. an all women playing field brings in a lot of drama! However, reading over everyones comments from the last few years reminds me of the spirit of dodgeball lies within...and i can dodge a wrench. (maybe i am a lil special ed) -fin

i have a big dodge ball game coming up.
and in personaly not that good so all this tip should help me alot thank

good luck, have fun with it!
