it’s available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Oh- the game!

it’s still played in many schools, but some ban it because of the high risk of injury

and baseball and football are so safe huh. I had a former teammate when I played football in high school that got paralized. I never say a kid get that injured in dodgeball. Anyhow I read the story bout dodgeball ban as parents not liking there kid getting singled out by getting picked last

I was never allowed to play dodgeball. Its banned in most schools like muddyh2o said but its not because of injury risk. Its because its not a team sport and the kids that are slow/fat/out of shape always get out first so it lowers their self esteem. At least thats what my gym teacher told me. Makes sense if you think about it.
