Dodgeball fucking scarred my childhood. That game, and the instructors who thought it was fun to watch, can fucking rot in hell. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

I couldn't catch worth a damn, but I was pretty much always the last guy being tagged on our team - had an almost gymnastic dodge ability. I'd go dance on the dividing line, which would set up easy catches for my team - was one of my most favorite games. But yeah, being the punching bag ain't fun, game or no game.

But after they tagged me out, I got to leave the game, and they didn't bother aiming for my head. Now snowball fights, well lemme just be glad that where I lived we did not get it very often. :-( Cheers, Ben "...

Two high-jump mats on each end, two teams, the idea was to get the ball on the mat to score and other rules netball-ish. Defense seemed to consist of physically blocking the other players... Quite a great "contact" sport for mixed teams. (-: Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."
