Hello PE Nation!

Yes, I want to discuss dodgeball once more. Today my episode examines the role of dodgeball in physical education, advocating for its removal from school settings due to its potential to foster bullying, injuries, and an exclusionary environment. I share personal insights, alongside research and alternative activities, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive and beneficial approach to physical education.

• Discussion on the SHAPE position against dodgeball 
• Personal experiences showcasing the nostalgia and drawbacks of the game 
• Examination of bullying, injuries, and legal concerns related to dodgeball 
• Reflection on educator responsibilities and potential alternatives 
• Encouragement for PE teachers to reevaluate their approaches and games 
• Call to action for adopting a more inclusive curriculum

Thanks for listening,

Dave
