&lt;br/&gt;SF Dodgeball wants you to come out and play!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Are you looking for something entertaining to do during the week... and/or on Saturday mornings? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Want to meet fun-loving and active people from all different walks of life? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Need to tone up and get in shape for swimsuit season? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Then perhaps you should be playing dodge ball! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;SF Dodgeball, as seen, heard on NBC-11, KRON 4, the San Francisco Examiner, the front page of the San Jose Mercury News, KGO TALK Radio, SF Bay Guardian, SF Weekly, The Modesto Bee, etc. (what can I say... we're popular!), was conceived in part to revisit the frantic and carefree game that so many children played in school yards and gymnasiums in years past. Postings on Craigslist.com, word-of-mouth, and our player's passion for the sport helped to contribute to the keen response of the budding dodge ball community in San Francisco. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;SF Dodgeball currently has a roster of over 400 players. Games are located throughout San Francisco twice a week. Up-to-date info about SF Dodgeball can always be found at http://sfdodgeball.net
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The game of dodge ball should be familiar to anyone who grew up in America, and provides the perfect opportunity to experience an authentic slice of Americana for anyone who did not. Two teams line up opposite each other on an outdoor or indoor playing field, grab a few foam-rubber balls, and throw them at the opposite team. Anyone struck by a ball in mid-flight is out, as is anyone whose throw is caught in mid-flight. That’s it! It’s that simple. Teams can be organized and pre-arranged or can be picked up on the spot from whomever is available to play. Everyone who shows up will get to play, regardless if they are one person or a whole team/group. 
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Back in the day, when you were playing kickball on the playground and dodgeball in gym class, could you imagine playing those games in an NFL Stadium? Well, now you can. On Dec. 10th, Qwest Field becomes the biggest, most ridiculous playground on earth. It’s the 2004 Red Rubber Bowl, a kickball and dodgeball tournament for everyday players 21+. Kickballers will participate in a 2 game guaranteed tourney with the top 4 teams moving onto a final showdown, while Dodgeballers will get 4 guaranteed games and a shot at the playoffs. And, if your team is hardcore, you can play in both! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;See... playground daydreams can come true. 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Games Start Times from 5 PM to 10 PM on Friday Night 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Kickball Tournament 
&lt;br/&gt;(16 Teams - 2 Games Guaranteed)
&lt;br/&gt;$250 per team Roster Max of 15, includes Team Shirts
&lt;br/&gt;Sign Up for the Kickball Tournament -&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dodgeball Tournament 
&lt;br/&gt;(60 Teams - 4 Games Guaranteed)
&lt;br/&gt;$150 per team Roster Max of 10, includes Team Shirts
&lt;br/&gt;Sign Up for the Dogeball Tournament -&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Or, Play in Both Tournaments for $350 per team
&lt;br/&gt;Sign Up for Both -&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Team, Small Groups of Friends, and Individual Sign Ups
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hey! What time are the games?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Red Rubber Bowl is an 'after work' event. Game start times will be from 5 PM until 10 PM. All efforts will be made to accommodate schedule requests for teams that need later games. 
&lt;br/&gt;

    <published>2004-06-04T20:57:50Z</published>
    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK, SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco Dodgeball kicked off the first of its weekly events Wednesday, attracting approximately 50 men and women to Washington Square Park in North Beach to engage in a spirited round-robin style tournament of dodgeball games known simply as “the North Beach Classic”.  The participants quickly organized themselves into 4 teams, gave themselves names like “Freeballin’ Gentlemen”, and commenced play on two make-shift fields marked off with plastic cones.  Within minutes the players were darting back and forth furiously, throwing, catching, taunting and of course, dodging as the foam and rubber playing balls flew across the field at all angles.  As the evening progressed, the teams switched opponents until each team had faced one another at least once.  Often, players were exchanged seconds before the first ball of the game was thrown, in an attempt to even out the sides.  Two hours later, after the last of the games had concluded, the remaining dodgeballers stood at the center of the field exchanging high-fives, grins and sympathetic glances, as they contentedly recapped the days events to one another and organized the agenda for the following week’s activities before trundling off to the nearest pub in search of a few beers and a breather.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The rules of dodge ball are varied depending on whom you are playing with and in what setting.  Outdoor dodgeball, for instance, offers a different experience from its indoor counterpart, and the rules may vary accordingly.  Typically, two teams of six to ten people line up opposite each other on a court of some sort.  Each team occupies one half of the court, and each player must remain inside of the boundaries while he or she is still “alive”.  The dodgeballers hurl foam-rubber playing balls at each other once the game commences, hoping to knock off opposing players.  Players are killed off from each team by virtue of being struck with a thrown ball, or having their own throw caught in mid-flight by an opposing player.  The game continues until one side has been completely eliminated.  Once a game has ended the teams then switch side and play again.  Despite the outward simplicity of the game, dodge ballers will attest to the fact that their sport offers a taxing physical challenge, testing the agility, stamina, reflexes and hand-eye coordination of its partakers.  In part, this explains why the game enjoyed so much popularity with school-age children.  It was this childlike exuberance that characterized the North Beach Classic, and made its follow-up, the Haight-Ashbury Classic… an inevitability.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Scheduled for Wednesday, June 9, the Haight-Ashbury Classic will build upon the momentum created by its North Beach predecessor.  Having already established team captains, team names and the beginnings of team identities, the Haight-Ashbury Classic offers an opportunity for wayward dodgeballer to find a place among the active teams in the SF Dodgeball League, or else establish their own squad and stake their claim to supremacy within the fledgling organization.  In addition, those uninitiated to the sport have an opportunity to witness first-hand the riotous excitement of this truly American game.  The Haight-Ashbury Classic will begin at 6:30 pm on the eastern end of the Golden Gate Park Panhandle, near the intersection of Ashbury with Fell and Oak streets.  All interested parties are strongly encouraged to bring their own dodgeball and join in the fun.  Contact Sammy for further information.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;So the only way I've ever played dodgeball was inside (during NY winters Dodgeball was our default gym class activity) was in a pretty large room with 2 teams facing each other. Erik jogged my memory last night--I thought there was only 1 ball, but I do now recall a lot of balls being thrown around at times.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Have you played with 1 ball or many? (OK, I'm opening myself up for a lot of ball jokes here--please don't disappoint) ;)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Did you play in a circle or teams against walls or how else?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Rules??? Any others come to mind?
&lt;br/&gt;-If you hit someone in the head, you're out
&lt;br/&gt;-If person catches ball you threw, you're out
&lt;br/&gt;-If ball bounces first and then hits you, you're safe
&lt;br/&gt;-If ball hits back wall first and then hits you, you're out
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ah, thinking of that pleasing 'poing' sound ball makes as it hits an exposed limb... &lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK, SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco Dodgeball kicked off the first of its weekly events Wednesday, attracting approximately 50 men and women to Washington Square Park in North Beach to engage in a spirited round-robin style tournament of dodgeball games known simply as “the North Beach Classic”.  The participants quickly organized themselves into 4 teams, gave themselves names like “Freeballin’ Gentlemen”, and commenced play on two make-shift fields marked off with plastic cones.  Within minutes the players were darting back and forth furiously, throwing, catching, taunting and of course, dodging as the foam and rubber playing balls flew across the field at all angles.  As the evening progressed, the teams switched opponents until each team had faced one another at least once.  Often, players were exchanged seconds before the first ball of the game was thrown, in an attempt to even out the sides.  Two hours later, after the last of the games had concluded, the remaining dodgeballers stood at the center of the field exchanging high-fives, grins and sympathetic glances, as they contentedly recapped the days events to one another and organized the agenda for the following week’s activities before trundling off to the nearest pub in search of a few beers and a breather.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The rules of dodge ball are varied depending on whom you are playing with and in what setting.  Outdoor dodgeball, for instance, offers a different experience from its indoor counterpart, and the rules may vary accordingly.  Typically, two teams of six to ten people line up opposite each other on a court of some sort.  Each team occupies one half of the court, and each player must remain inside of the boundaries while he or she is still “alive”.  The dodgeballers hurl foam-rubber playing balls at each other once the game commences, hoping to knock off opposing players.  Players are killed off from each team by virtue of being struck with a thrown ball, or having their own throw caught in mid-flight by an opposing player.  The game continues until one side has been completely eliminated.  Once a game has ended the teams then switch side and play again.  Despite the outward simplicity of the game, dodge ballers will attest to the fact that their sport offers a taxing physical challenge, testing the agility, stamina, reflexes and hand-eye coordination of its partakers.  In part, this explains why the game enjoyed so much popularity with school-age children.  It was this childlike exuberance that characterized the North Beach Classic, and made its follow-up, the Haight-Ashbury Classic… an inevitability.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Scheduled for Wednesday, June 9, the Haight-Ashbury Classic will build upon the momentum created by its North Beach predecessor.  Having already established team captains, team names and the beginnings of team identities, the Haight-Ashbury Classic offers an opportunity for wayward dodgeballer to find a place among the active teams in the SF Dodgeball League, or else establish their own squad and stake their claim to supremacy within the fledgling organization.  In addition, those uninitiated to the sport have an opportunity to witness first-hand the riotous excitement of this truly American game.  The Haight-Ashbury Classic will begin at 6:30 pm on the eastern end of the Golden Gate Park Panhandle, near the intersection of Ashbury with Fell and Oak streets.  All interested parties are strongly encouraged to bring their own dodgeball and join in the fun.  Contact Sammy for further information.

&lt;br/&gt;But I have a redeeming quality, I want to host ANOTHER game!
&lt;br/&gt;Unfortunately, I only have 2 balls and they're not made of rubber.

&lt;br/&gt;You know that guy or girl that slammed you about the head like 3 times, yet you were never able to get 'em back.  Well now's your chance.  Let's do this thing in one of San Fran's many parks.  With all the high profile we may even get a lot of people interested in a league, just in time for warmer climes.
