Gym-class style sport where a bunch of kids get divided into two teams and throw approximately 6-10 playground balls at each other across the middle-line of a gymnasium (which may not be crossed) in an attempt to get each other "out". If a ball is thrown into another player without bouncing off of anything, that player is "out" unless they catch the ball, in which case the thrower is "out". Once a ball bounces, it is essentially out of play until thrown again. This game is now being outlawed in schools, in a consistent attempt on behalf of the government to make children weak, retarded, and liberal.
Dodgeball is too violent to be played in our schools! Doesn't anyone know that children are actually made of extremely brittle materials and should not be touched by ANYTHING?

Get the dodgeball mug.Incredibly feral game which many schools are now banning for some (presumably stupid) reason. I am, sadly,a victim of these decisions; thelast good dodgeball game I played was in 7th grade. Many variations of this game exist, but most of them involve flinging soft, medium-sized foam balls at one another on 2 sides of a line. Getting hit makes you 'out.' Occasionally, provisions are added to reverse the 'out' status, but they usually involve teamwork of some sort.
I felt that the dodgeball game, becoming more and more fast-paced and violent, was the pinnacle of physical education class. Then I felt the burning sting of the foam ball as I realized, "Don't think, MOVE!"

Seattle Street Dodgeball is hosted at Cal Anderson Park in the Capitol Hill area in Seattle, WA.
It serves as a great melting pot, as cultures, religion, political opinion, favorite movie character lines, profanity, sexual orientation, grins, and laughter clash in the midst and fury of flying dodgeballs.
The games are pickup and played on a tennis court every Tuesday and Friday night, rain or shine (or snow), and continue even after the lights turn off around 10:20 pm. The players consist of the organizers (who own the balls, so don't f***ing mess with them) and other regulars, as well as hundreds of other different people who fill up the tennis court. (Many people hope that another game will get started so that some of the extra 50 people that show up can play somewhere else as well).
Although arrogant tennis players attempted to shut down the dodgeball games, which only occur over about six hours every WEEK, the players succeeded in overcoming the tennis players, and got the tennis players to revert to the teaching ingrained into them during kindergarten of the concept of "sharing".
Located near Seattle Central University, dozens of people come every week just to watch the action, which is amusing to see and listen to.
If a person lives in Seattle and has not seen Seattle Street Dodgeball, they have not yet seen a key part of Seattle culture.

"ERIN THE SNIPER!"

"STOP THROWING IT TO MEEPLE!"
"BRING IT ON, OLD MAN!"
and thus it will continue for hours

Get the dodgeball mug.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.
