Team sheet must be submitted for this event

Game Play

Games will be 2 minutes x 2 (total game time is 4 minutes, 2minutes first game 1 minute break, 2 minutes game time, finish)
6 players on the court
When the whistle is blown children run to the centre to collect the ball.
Children cannot pass the centre red line.
No throws can be made for 3 seconds (this is to prevent balls being thrown directly in the face when trying to get them from the centre)
After 3 seconds the sports leaders will shout PLAY and the balls can be thrown
There are no OUTS as such in this format, but every time a child is hit with a ball the team who threw the ball that team receives a point.
If a child is hit with the ball they do not have to leave the court, they continue playing.
A team can gain a point IF (the ball hits a player before it has touched the floor- eg has not rolled/ bounced, one of your team member catches a thrown ball)
A hit = ball hits a player before it has touched the floor- eg has not rolled/ bounced. A catch has failed but the ball has struck you (eg touched hand or dropped ball). A ball is caught by the opposing team (eg red throws and green team, green team catch it)
NO HITS ARE COUNTED ABOVE NECK
Players must stay inside the court at all times.
Play continues until the time is up.
Teams are trying to get as many points as possible
Please submit a school team name for your Dodgeball team for a bit of fun!

Sports Leaders from Claremont will be refereeing the matches and counting the points.

We are implementing a no sit out rule to ensure inclusivity and positive experiences for these pupils, there is nothing worse that joining in and being hit within the first 5 seconds and never playing that match again. Please remember this is about introducing this age to positive experiences of competition.
