Warm up ideas

Stretch arms, legs, and back

A solid stretch will allow you to remain nimble and agile. Be ready to move in any direction away from an incoming ball. Stretching your arm will help your shoulder from becoming tired too early.

Play catch

Getting your arm loose for throwing heat is recommended before any dodgeball match. Throwing out ones arm is a costly mistake and quite a painful experience. Keep your arm well rested inbetween game days. Remember, most starting pitchers in baseball only start every 5 games.

Jogging/Sprints

As a former coach of mine said, you must run the race before you actually run the race. The name of the game is cardio and you must be able to withstand being the last man to win it for your team. Most of the action comes fast and rapid, so there is very little time for rest out on the court. You must be able to have endurance to do quick bursts of energy for 5 minutes of straight action.

Jump around

There will be balls thrown at your legs. You must be able to jump up to avoid getting hit.
