Intent: To engage new audiences.

Target Group: Strictly for pupils who have not represented their school at (level 2) inter school competition and that you would not consider bringing to a competitive dodgeball competition.

Format

  • Children will be mixed up with other schools and play against each other in a round robin format.
  • Games will be played on a badminton size court.
  • Matches will finish when the first team legally eliminates all opposing players. A 2-minute time limit applies to games and if neither team has been eliminated by the end of the match, the team with the greater number of players remaining will be the winners.

Rules:

The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them OUT.  This may be done by;

  • Hitting the opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the shoulders – no head shots allowed.
  • Catching a LIVE ball thrown by the opposition before it touches the ground.
  • If a player is out they can return to live play if a member of their team catches a live ball.

‘Live’ definition

  • A ball that has been thrown and has not touched anything, including the floor, another ball, another player, official or other item outside of the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc.).

Boundaries

  • During play all players must remain within the boundary lines. Players may leave and enter the boundaries through their end line only to retrieve balls.

Opening Rush

  • 3 balls are placed along the centre line. Players start behind the end line, touching the wall and on the official’s start they ‘rush’ in and collect any of the balls. They must then ensure that they pass the ball backwards to a member of their team before they are allowed to strike the opposition.

 

Equipment:                         NWLSSP will provide appropriate balls for the competition. All students must wear PE kit with all jewellery removed and long hair tied back.

Progression:                      There is no level 3 progression for this event.
