* This is as good a reason as any for why gymn in ''{{Bully}}'' focuses on dodgeball and wrestling. (Well, that and game mechanics--winning a wrestling match improves your melee attacks, while helping the nerds beat the jocks at dodgeball improves your ranged attacks.)

** The players on the heroes' team, however, are battle-hardened people with lethal superpowers themselves. The captain of the opposing team, Razor, is so powerful that he inflicts TheWorfEffect by his mere presence and is the only person shown so far to genuinely put MonsterClown Hisoka on edge.

***This troper played the variation of the game mentioned above, only when you get thrown into jail (behind the enemy side, near the wall, where you won't get hit again), if a ball just happens to roll to you or a helpful teammate manages to throw a ball over the enemies' heads, you can use that ball to shoot into a basketball hoop, and if you get it in, its a jail break for everyone.

Despite not being a particularly dangerous sport in RealLife, in fiction, dodgeball is as close as you can get to a BloodSport without any actualy death (...usually.)

It's not uncommon for students to come out of the gym with injuries from nosebleeds to broken bones, and the perpetrators [[KarmaHoudini never seem to get in trouble for it]].

** The best kind of dodgeball is the kind where you are allowed to catch the ball in flight and throw it back. You'll be able to give back as much as you recieve, that way.
