Equipment: Dodgeball and goalkeeper gloves and goals same size as futsal goals
Sport Description
Halves are 45 minutes long court size is 50 meters long and 20 meters wide the goal area is a 7 meter long semicircle. The teams are 7 players on the field including the goalkeeper.
One team starts off at the middle by passing it to a teammate either on the full or bounce pass.
A player can only take 3 steps before bouncing the ball to reset their steps and they can do this as much as they want. The goalkeeper can walk as much as they want while holding the ball up to halfway and they don’t have to bounce it.
A player cannot shoot the ball inside the goal area unless it is a corner throw (a corner throw is the same as a corner kick in soccer) when a corner throw takes place a player can score inside the goal area but they have to hit it in, they cannot throw it.
If the ball goes out of bounds on the sides it is a throw in for the other team, unless it is a corner throw.
You foul someone by tripping them and bringing them to the ground.
If you foul someone in the goal area then it is a penalty anywhere else on the court then it is a free throw.
On free throws you can pass or shoot but on penalties you have to shoot.
To count the ball as out the whole ball has to be out. A player can step out with the ball but it is only out when the whole ball is out.
When a person scores it counts as 1 point.
