Dodge ball has been removed from many middle schools across the US for the reason of being deemed "unsafe" or it not teaching kids useful skills. These are completely false statements, the game is safe because foam balls can be used, and it teaches kids survival of the fittest, increases agility, and hand eye co ordination. It supports team work and critical decision making on the fly, skills that we use often in the common workplace. There is no legitimate reason to not have this classic and fun game being a course in children's physical education.
