One of the ways people often communicate and call plays on the dodgeball court is through hand signals. Hand signals allow you to communicate quickly with your teammates while keeping the play secret from your opponents.

Hand signals can vary across communities or teams, but over the years a few hand signals have become common and generally used by most people here at DBO.

Dodgeball is different than most sports. Most sports have 1 ball which is the focal point of the game. Dodgeball has 6! This means 6 focal points. 6 balls to track and 6 potential situations occurring all at once. Due to this, dodgeball can be a very difficult game to ref. As such, the game relies very heavily on honesty and integrity.

Body catching is all about body positioning. It is easier to learn, and most people start to see results very quickly.
