The Sport-Thieme "Kogelan Hypersoft" dodgeball – extremely grippy and soft
The Sport-Thieme "Kogelan Hypersoft" dodgeball is a soft, air-filled ball made of a special Kogelan material mix. The soft material makes the ball particularly easy to grip – perfect for catching and throwing in dodgeball. What’s more, there’s no risk of injury due to miss-timed catches or when the ball hits the body. This makes it comparable to soft foam balls, however the Kogelan ball is more robust and boasts better bounce and flight characteristics. Using the needle valve, the air pressure can be adjusted to adapt the ball’s level of bounce. For less bounce, simply let out some of the air. The ball is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Dodgeball – great fun for any age
Dodgeball is easy to learn and suitable for all ages. As the game doesn’t take that long, it is also a great option for sports lessons. The game requires 2 teams with 6 players each, competing against each other using 5 or more balls. The number of players can be increased, should there be more people to join in (e.g. school classes). Each team plays from their half of the court.
How to play it
At the beginning, the balls are placed in a 3-m-wide neutral zone in the centre of the court. The aim of the game is to grab the balls and throw them at the opponents. All players stand on their side of the court, touching the end line. Once the game has started, 3 players from either side can try to grab the dodgeballs from the neutral zone and throw them at their opponents. If a player is hit, they are out and must leave the court. If a player catches the ball from an opponent, then the person who threw the ball is out and one of the catcher’s teammates who was off the court can be brought back.
This resilient yet soft ball will encourage children to join in the game and make them love dodgeball. Don’t delay and order your Sport-Thieme "Kogelan Hypersoft" dodgeball now.
