Dodgeball

All year Round

Originating in Africa as a tribal ritual this game was brought to Europe by a missionary and developed into a less aggressive form. It was taken to the US in 1884 by Phillip Ferguson from Yale University who developed it into the faster court orientated game we see today.

The constant running back and forth when playing Dodgeball provides a solid cardiovascular workout, while the activity also involves use of virtually all your major muscle groups.
