I have thought of this many times before, but when I played dodgeball in gym today, I actually felt like writing about it. Let’s see if I can do it!
I believe that any randomized gym class could easily win a match of dodgeball if they broke each person into “jobs,” each with a special ability with only one thing to worry about. I will create a fake gym class based off of my own to demonstrate.
Most people in a gym class know each other and know how well each person can throw, how motivated they are, etc. With this knowledge, they could break the class down into a well-balanced team. With the unmotivated and unskilled people in the back tapping balls towards the athletic and competitive people near the front, ball-fetchers delivering balls to the throwers, and tall people waiting for balls to catch. Everyone has a specific job and can help the team out.
Fake Gym Class: Personality and Physcial Traits – Jobs
Andy: great athlete, competitive, great aim, hard-hitter, strong – thrower, stands at the front
Brittany: good at volleyball, tall, skinny, ditsy, competitive – catcher, waits for a high ball to easily catch, occasionally throws
Carl: skinny, unathletic, unmotivated, bad aim – fetcher, retrieves balls and hands them to the throwers
Danielle: competitive, good at soccer, bad aim, a little overweight – fetcher, retrieves balls and hands them to the throwers, occasionally throws
Emily: unmotivated, weak, great dodger – kicker, stands at the back, lightly taps the balls towards the throwers near the front
Fran: unmotivated, great aim, bad dodger, short – kicker, stands at the back, lightly taps the balls towards the throwers near the front, occasionally throws
George: overweight, unhealthy, bad dodger, hard-hitter – thrower, stands near the middle
Heather: bad aim, competitive, bad dodger, good catcher, short – thrower/catcher, stands near the middle
Ivan: skinny, tall, good catcher, great aim, competitive – thrower, stands at the front
John: great athlete, great aim, competitive, short – thrower, stands at the front
Kristen: great dodger, unmotivated, good aim – mixed
Lauren: weak, unmotivated, short, bad aim – kicker, stands at the back, lightly taps the balls towards the throwers near the front
Matt: great aim, hard-hitter, bad dodger, competitive, good at baseball – thrower, stands near the middle
Nicole: bad aim, competitive, short, great dodger – fetcher, retrieves balls and hands them to the throwers, occasionally throws
Oliver: skinny, bad aim, tall, unmotivated – catcher, waits for a high ball to easily catch
Paul: good aim, good dodger, competitive – thrower, stands at the front
Quinton: good at basketball, tall, skinny, great aim, hard-hitter, great dodger – thrower, stands at the front
Ryan: unmotivated, bad aim, bad catcher, great dodger – fetcher, retrieves balls and hands them to the throwers
Sarah: tall, skinny, great aim, unmotivated – mixed
Trevor: great aim, stong, great dodger, competitive – thrower, stands at the front
Uniqua: unmotivated, good aim, hard-hitter, short – thrower, stands at the front
Veronica: tall, skinny, great catcher, bad aim, competitive – catcher, waits for a low ball to easily catch
Whitney: good at volleyball, skinny, great aim, competitive – thrower, stands at the front
Xavier: bad aim, bad dodger, short, unmotivated – kicker, stands at the back, lightly taps the balls towards the throwers near the front
Yvette: great aim, hard-hitter, a little overweight, competitive – thrower, stands near the middle
Zach: skinny, great dodger, competitive – mixed
So there’s my dodgeball strategy. Whenever I play dodgeball, I am always a fetcher who occasionally throws. I wish that I could get a whole class to try out this strategy and see if it works though…

This sounds pretty cool, infact I know some of the kids you described they are in my gym class, same name and description.lol.
just to let u know i finished my club part I. !!!!!
We so need to do this! Heres how we break it up:
Equipment:
One(1) gymnasium, allocated for our use for several hours
Four(4) little balls, each no more than 10 inches in diameter
Three(3) Standard kickball sized dodgeball, made out of soft, maleable rubber instead of that hard crap.
Two(2) Uber balls, 2-3 feet in diameter
Rules:(May vary depending on location)
1. If hit by a ball, you are out
a. If it bounces on the floor first, doesn’t count as an out.
b. if it bounces of a held ball, it is an out
I. If a held ball is thrown and hits the first ball, it doesn’t count as an out, unless the ball then hits someone
c. If a ball hits more than one person the last one to touch it is out.
2. If you catch the ball, the thrower is out, and one outted person from the catcher’s team is returned to play.
a. ball may be caught off any rebound save the floor
3. If you are the last person on your team, catching the ball returns all your outted teammates into play. The thrower is not out.
Challenge:
Wilson bros vs all yall!
Three against all of us. Thats an easy win. Wilsons alone can’t take on the whole Empire by them selves.
It’s a death wish.
That actually sounds like fun… 😀
