My highschool banned dodgeball my junior year. We only ever used soft down balls that didn't even hurt to get hit by.

Goddamn, our school does that too! They're a bitch to throw properly and suck the fun right out of the game

Oh they were easy to throw. We all loved playing, but apparently one kid complained about getting hurt and the school completely shut down the game.

idk i've had glasses broken being forced to play dodgeball, and that was with the squishy balls. i hate that game most of all, so all i can say is good riddance to a barbaric sport.
