Well it all started about 1000 years ago when the Japanese started using discarded heads from there enemies to play the game of dodgeball by throwing the heads at eachother. You can thank the Japanese for Dodgeball
No. That was just a fanciful joke invented for the 2004 movie "Dodgeball: A true underdog story." The fact that many believed this was a historically accurate portrayal is fairly disconcerting. I've found no scholarly sources to back up the Chinese inventing dodgeball, let alone using human heads to play it.I mean, think about it: Why on earth would they throw human heads at each other? Who would engage in a sport involving picking up a decapitated head, throwing it, then having one thrown at you? Where did all the heads come from? I think the people that fall for jokes from Ben Stiller movies are the ones losing their heads.ACTUALLY; concerning the above answer. Some ancient tribes and cultures used to use people's severed heads to play variants of football, polo and many other such games. This was done a lot of the time with the direct intent of humiliating the head's owner (now dead) and his or her family. Such as a recently over turned king, bandit leader etc. So falling for the idea in Dodgeball the movie is not so stupid as you seem to want to make out and put people down for.
the game dodge-ball was created back in the day..... i mean a long long long time ago.. .by and Chinese group... and the dodge-balls never started off as ball.... the were human heads of people they did not like...... so they were used to scare the towns people when they would throw them
Dodgeball is capitalized if it starts the sentence. But if dodgeball is used in the middle of a sentence it is not capitalized.
arms and legs
Human heads.
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.
No, he was not in Dodgeball

That is the correct spelling of the one-word noun "dodgeball" (a game). It can also be used for the specific balls designed for the game. The two-word form "dodge ball" is also used for the sport.
