Dodgeball

The game in which team with the ball passes the ball to teammates or try to gain a point by hitting the opponent is known as dodge ball. The game is played for 10 minute and whichever team score more point that team wins.

Pass

If the passed ball could not be passed properly to the friend then the group may lose the game. So, the proper way of passing should be practiced. In dodgeball, it is considered to be better to pass the ball with one hand. The opponents will assume that they are about to be hit if the ball is passed to one hand. So, they try to feint but actually the ball will be passed to a friend. As a result, the person that receives the ball will be able to hit the opponent easily. The practice of passing could be done like one hand pass in basketball/port ball.

Group work
Being a team, dodgeball requires an important role of group work. Group work consists of passing the ball to friend, understanding between teammates to recognize opponents to hit and gain a point, group knowledge of making a safe pass and how to hit an opponent easily and to play accordingly are the group works. In same way defending group also should work in a group to aware the friend to one who is weak and not alert, how to get the ball into their hands, to be alert and fake the opponent also come under skill of group. It is better to play in such a way that if the thrown ball misses hitting an opponent then it is received by your own teammate as pass.
