FAQ
American dodgeball is a team sport played by two teams on a court involving multi-ball offense and defense. Foam-division tournaments use six balls. During the match, offense and defense happen simultaneously, and participants must quickly observe changes on the court, eliminating opponents through passing, covering, division of labor, and tactical cooperation.
Compared to the familiar traditional dodgeball, American dodgeball features a faster pace, less waiting time, and a greater emphasis on team strategy. The World Dodgeball Federation describes foam dodgeball as a highly tactical form of competition that uses six soft foam balls.
Everyone can find their own place
The game doesn't just need people who can throw fast; it also needs partners who are skilled at observing, passing, setting screens, reminding teammates, and strategizing. Even those who don't usually exercise much can create value for the team in different ways.
Communication results are visible immediately
Who is responsible for the attack, who keeps possession of the ball, when to screen for teammates—every decision made by the team is immediately reflected in the results on the court. Members can quickly see the importance of communication and collaboration.
Practice quick response amidst changes
Six balls are moving simultaneously, and the situation on the field can change at any time. The team needs to continuously observe, adjust strategies, and cover for one another, training their reaction ability when facing changes.
Connecting competition experience to the workplace
At the end of the activity, the coach led a review, allowing participants to re-examine the role division, information transmission, decision-making methods, and team interactions during the competition, and connect them to collaboration scenarios in daily work.
