What country did dodgeball origin in?

Answer 1

It is estimated that Dodgeball started back in the Caveman Era. Where cavemen, frustrated by the sun in their eyes, hurled rocks at the sun. When they came down, some caveman would be killed while others learned to "Dodge" the rocks. This carried over into the Egyptian era to where they pharaoh would hold weekly "Dodgeball tournaments". Slowly but surly it evolved into what dodgeball is today.

Answer 2

Dodgeball or variations of it no doubt had appeared in public school physical education classes since we can remember, however in print, it can be traced back to as early as the 1900's. At the time, the ball of choice was in fact, a Basketball and not the oh so feared 8.5inch red rubber balls you hear people complaining to date.

Obviously throughout the decades it evolved into more or less a gym class activity in which those that could throw excelled over those that could not, giving it that stigma of a bully's wet dream.

It wasn't until the formation of the National Amateur Dodgeball Association in the early 2000's that Dodgeball began to take on a more team oriented makeup with emphasis on structure. With their 2002 Great Pumpkin Tournament (http://www.dodgeballusa.com/gallery/02pumpkinpics.html) it is easy to show that it did in fact predate "The Movie."

With the formation of the National Dodgeball League in early 2004, the NDL and the NADA were poised to take advantage of the surge in interest created by the movie. Throughout the years teams and players came and go but as the novelty died out, those that really took a liking to the game formed their own organizations and worked with the National entities like the NDL and the NADA to help develop the sport and its growth.

What was born in the American gyms of the early 1900's is no where near what Dodgeball is now.
