I hated this game. I remember playing in kindergarten they always picked me because I was small and couldn’t break through. One time I got the wind knocked out and thought I was going to die.
I was fast and tall. I always got through! I went on to play ice hockey and learned what having the wind exit my lungs at speed. So… those kids had their revenge in the long run…
I guess.
I can’t believe that was a game they had us primary schoolers played!

After rupturing my distal biceps tendon I look back on this game and realize we were really rolling the dice on injuries.

I loved it for crushing the nerds!
Jk, I’m not a psycho. But I did love crushing the nerds in dodgeball.

Red Rover is how I got a black eye in second grade. Weirdly enough, my friend somehow hit my face with the back of their head.

I was always bigger and stronger than everyone else, so they would always call on me to break the line. Good times lol

The goal was to hold tight. And, for me, as a smaller kid, I really wanted you to flip me. I’m sure it wouldn’t be fun now. But it was so fun them.
