Dodgeball is a team sport where players aim to eliminate opponents by hitting them with a ball. The game typically involves two teams, each trying to avoid being hit while attempting to throw balls at the other team. If a player is hit, they are out of the game, but they can return if a teammate catches a ball thrown by the opposing team. The game is played on a rectangular court, often divided by a center line. Players must stay within their designated areas and can use dodging, ducking, and catching skills to avoid being eliminated. Dodgeball is popular in schools and recreational leagues.
