Dodgeball (or dodge ball) is the name of a traditional American elementary school game taught in physical education classes. It is also popular in informal settings and is often played by schoolchildren on a playground. There are many variations of the game, but each involve players trying to avoid being hit by a ball that players on the other team are throwing at them.

Players are usually split into teams, though sometimes people play individually. A number (although sometimes only one) of medium-sized rubber balls (the same sort used in four square) are placed in a central location. The objective of each player is to hit an opponent, so as to eliminate him or her from the game. The game ends when one player (or team) remains. Foam balls are also sometimes used.

In most cases, catching the ball enacts a reversal; if the target catches (rather than dodges) the ball, the thrower is eliminated. In some versions of the game, a catch (in addition to eliminating the thrower) also allows another player from the catching team to re-enter. In variants which do not allow catching, handling the ball counts as a hit, while punching or handling the ball with a closed fist does not. In all versions, a player who steps from his square to the enemy team's square is also eliminated.
