10 Players - Minimum of 2 girls to start on court at all times - Starting squad of 6

A dodgeball team consists of 6 players with squads up to a maximum of 10. In order to win a game, you must either eliminate all opposing players or have more players remaining on your side at the end of a game. A set will be given a certain amount of time and within that time there will be as many games completed as possible.

At the start of play, 5 dodgeballs are placed along the centre line. The two balls on a team’s left are their designated balls, the middle ball is contested. 

Live Balls - A ball is live once collected from the centre line and then crosses the back line

Hits – any player struck with a live ball by an opposing player will be called out, head shots do not count. Anything from the shoulder below is 'out'. Referee's decision is final. 

Catches – any catch on a live ball will be valid. The player who threw the caught ball will be called out and the catching team will get one player from the outbox.

Blocking – players are able to use a ball in their possession to block an incoming ball. If the ball they are holding is knocked from their possession, they will be called out. 

Lines – Dodgeball will be played on a badminton-sized court. Players should only be outside these lines to retrieve balls, whilst outside and retrieving balls they cannot be called out 

Stalling – players should not intentionally stall the game. Once a team has possession of 3, 4 or 5 balls, they should look to make an attempt with at least one of those balls. When a referee calls ‘play ball’, a team has 5 seconds to throw. If they do not, then players holding balls will be called out. Teams can keep one ball after a ‘play ball’ has been called, and must throw the rest.

Multiple play – the following are examples of multiple play: A player will be called out if they are hit by a ball that has deflected off a teammate whilst it is still live. 

A catch is valid if it has deflected off a teammate whilst it is still live – in this circumstance, the hit player plus the thrower will be called out – if the hit player is the first one out.
