My losses in Dodgeball is my villain backstory.
-
Gold for newbies and probably some gold for self-taught veterans too!
-
Great video. Best tip for new players is “stay humble”. I can’t tell you how many times I try to give someone advice only to be met with resistance or someone saying “I’m already doing that…” or “ya but…”
-
I'm someone who was thinking of getting into dodgeball and I live in Sydney so this is pretty intimidating of a video for me to watch since I'm a completely new player and I've only recently started a regular workout routine. I've gotta say its so relieving and comforting to know that these pros not only reserve judgement but have such solid advice, and even teach the technique that I was looking for specifically which was throwing. I had no idea most of it comes from the legs! This video was super helpful and made me a lot less nervous about signing up for my local.

1. power comes from leg drive not arms. less shoulder injury 2. momentum shift from back leg to front, from hips to shoulders 3. hip and shoulder separation uses kinetic chain 4. hip fully extended and towards target, shoulder and arm can go threw and torso twist 5. fingers on top of ball when release 6. elbow in front of you 1:51 to release a nice straight ball 7. elbow and torso should be 90 degrees, then arm whips in front of body 8. folllow through, wrap arm around body dont whip it back 9. wrist finish position when most in front of you 10. foot, knees, hips, shoulder, arm, wrist. body to up full body. power from ground 11. 2:58 practice for better accuracy 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

Bro thank you I literally channeled all my energy and asked in a deep voice "want to know why they call it dodgeball" right before sending that dodgeball 90 mph at some dude and then it bounced off of him and hit someone else they are still afraid of me to this day
-
I’m a pitcher in baseball and this helps a ton with not only dodge ball but with baseball too thanks
-
Hey, just wanna thank you for these tips, it literally helped me lead my team to win the championship earlier during the college cup. I have no experience at all playing dodgeball but this video was super helpful for me in strategizing plays against our opposing teams.
-
Some great tips in here for newbies and vets alike! I have gotten lazy with throwing mechanics at times, and it has led to bad accuracy and injuries. Also wanted to shout out the editing in this video: it’s quite good!
-
this is real solid and valuable advice 🔥
-
I HAVE WATCHED 2 H of dodgeball videos and finnaly i think im ready for the school dodgeball!!!!!!
-
As someone who is new to dodgeball, I'd love a video talking about all the lingo. There's been multiple time I watch one of these videos and haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about; especially when it comes to the react videos.
-
pov: your that one kid that hides at the very back of the court to not get out 💀💀
-
Thank you for all the amazing tips 💜
-
This should help me a lot when my teacher ask me and my classmate to play dodgeball!
-
they just started a dodgeball league near me and i signed up. very good tips in this video thank you
-
Im good at being a cheeky target and dodging (at times) but I'm rubbish at throwing 👀 Thanks for the video! Its good to have some techniques (body positioning and aiming small) to use for guidance and mindsets to follow 🤙
-
Loving the videos! Can we see a video on throwing injuries next? :o
-
Very similar throwing mechanics to baseball so I always dominated school dodgeball and still do lol
-
