Dodgeball

There are many variations of "regular dodgeball".  Some of the ones we play at Lincoln School include Trench Dodgeball, Lightning, Pin Dodgeball, Backboard Dodgeball, Secret Agent Dodgeball, Scatter Ball, Doctor Dodge, and more.

DODGEBALL GAMES ARE A GREAT ACTIVITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO WORK ON A WIDE VARIETY OF SKILLS THAT WE ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO IMPROVE ON IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
SOME OF THESE SKILLS INCLUDE:

-THROWING AND CATCHING SKILLS (THIS HELPS IMPROVE ACCURACY AND POWER OF THROWING AS WELL AS INCREASES HAND-EYE COORDINATION).

-AGILITY SKILLS (THE QUICK MOVEMENTS AND CHANGE OF SPEEDS AND DIRECTIONS USED IN DODGEBALL GAMES GREATLY IMPROVES ONES AGILITY).

-CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE (MANY OF THE DODGEBALL GAMES ARE FILLED WITH NON-STOP ACTION AND CONSTANT MOVEMENT WHICH KEEP THE STUDENT'S HEART RATES UP AT A HIGH LEVEL).

-TEAMWORK (MOST OF THE DODGEBALL GAMES RELY HEAVILY ON WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM).
