Boundaries

During play, all players must remain within the boundary lines. Stepping on the line is considered “Out”. The midline will be treated like any other boundary line. The midline extends infinitely, and players may not cross it even when retrieving a ball that is out of bounds. There will be an entry and exit point on each side of each end of the court. Players must enter and exit through this point in order to retrieve dodgeballs that are out of bounds. A player who is retrieving a ball, outside the boundaries is not a legal target

Any player who is outside the boundary lines cannot play a ball.

The Team Bench area and “ Out Zone” (Where players are sent after being called out) are also considered boundary lines. Any player inside one of these areas, who steps on the line or outside of the area, will be penalized. Penalty: Closest player to the infraction will be called out.

The back wall is considered out. Once a ball hits the wall, that ball is treated as if it has hit the ground.
