ultimate Dodgeball

Get active, get creative and get involvedultimate Dodgeball (uD) is the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) popular dodgeball based event for young people. Not only is it a great way for children to get active, but it is also a fantastic way to raise funds for your school and the BHF’s life-saving research.

We’d love your school to sign up now and take part in this great event. Young people of all ages and abilities can play. Just choose your teams, create a team identity for each one, and you can organise your own fun, fundraising tournament, whenever it suits you best.

5 minutes to learn it, 6 minutes to love itDodgeball takes just five minutes to learn and you don’t need a lot of equipment – just three dodgeballs, which we’ll send you for free. We’ll also send you a simple guide with lots of helpful hints and tips, so you can teach your children.

it’s good for you tooUD is simple to organise. All you need is an area the size of a badminton court (inside or outside) and you can get started.

Dodgeball is also a recognised sport by the four UK Sports Councils and is great for children’s health too, as it gets them active and develops team-building and strategic thinking. With UD, we’ve introduced a creative element too, by encouraging the children to create their own team identity – with dress and face painting.

Best of all, by organising a fundraising tournament for the BHF, you can also raise some much needed cash for your school, as you get to keep 20 per cent of any money raised. This could pay for new resources or activities.

ten people (six players and up to four substitutes).• There are five, two-minute games, with different players playing each game.• Players throw the ball at each other (no head shots). If you’re hit, you’re out. If you dodge it, you’re not.• If you catch the ball, the thrower is out instead. And you can bring one of your ‘out’ players back on.
