Poison Ball
A fast-paced dodgeball variant where players must dodge balls being rolled across the floor while trapped inside a shrinking circle.
Equipment Required
How to Play
The Setup: Have all the youth stand in a large, wide circle facing inward around the perimeter of the hall.
The Rollers: Designate a couple of Leaders (or a few chosen Scouts) to stand on the outside of the circle holding the soft balls.
The Action: On the whistle, the rollers begin to roll the balls across the floor into the circle, targeting the players’ feet and legs.
The Rules: * Balls must be rolled along the floor.
Any ball that rises above the knee does not count, and the player is not out.
Elimination: If a legally rolled ball touches a player below the knee, they are out. They must leave the inside of the circle and join the outside as an extra “roller” to help eliminate the remaining players.
Winning: As more players are eliminated, the balls speed up. The last player left dodging in the center of the circle is the winner.
