1. A game played most often in middle-school gym class. Usually fun, although often ends up to the social exclusion of nerds, dorks, etc. Can also be very painful to play. Essentially, people throw foam or rubber balls at the people on the other team. If you're hit, you're out,if you catch it, the thrower is out. Usually enjoyed by jocks and athletic people. Un-athletic people, such as myself, always leave the dodge ball field to a stream of boos and "You suck for being a wimp!"s. It's still damn fun, though. Is currently being banned from many schools.

the sole reason that middle school physical education was created
upon the creation of dodgeball came other games deriving from the root word, such as basketball and football, neither of which even compare in quality

A game involving two teams, generally made up of school children in a gym class, and a variety of various sized rubber balls. The object of the game is to ostracize the fat, the slow, and the pussies from the rest of the group by pummelling them with the balls, making them cry, lose their glasses, and have to sit 'out' for the rest of the game. It was unfortunately banned from most schools in the late nineties due to the rise of the fat, the slow, and the pussies to positions of high educational authority positions.
Jimmy: Remember the good old days when we played dodgeball in gym instead of learning underwater basket-weaving?
Johnny: Yeah, like when I hit Fat Fritz in the face and broke his nose to get him out? Good times, man. Good times.

Dodgeball (or dodge ball) is the name of a traditional elementary school game, taught in high school education classes, but also popular in informal settings, often played by schoolchildren on a playground. There are many variations of the game, but all involve some players trying to avoid being hit by a ball, that other players are throwing at them.
Players are usually split into teams, though sometimes play individually. A number (although sometimes only one) of medium-sized rubber balls (the same sort used in four square) are placed in a central location. The objective of each player is to hit an opponent so as to eliminate him or her from the game. The game ends when one player (or team) remains.
In some variants, catching the ball enacts a reversal; if the target catches (rather than dodges) the ball, the thrower is eliminated. In other variations a catch (in addition to eliminating the thrower) also allows another player from the catching team to re-enter. In other variants which don't allow catching, handling the ball counts as a hit, while punching or handling the ball with a closed fist does not. In all versions, a player who steps from his square to the enemy team's square is also eliminated.
One rule variant specifies that players who are hit, instead of stepping off the court, sit down where they are hit. If any of these players should later catch a ball thrown by the opposing team, the opposing thrower is out (and must sit down) and the player who caught the ball is back in.
