Saddest day of my childhood was halfway through middle school when they switched from the classic red waffles you see here to these sponge “safety” dodgeballs, because the school board was afraid of kids getting injured. They were so light you couldn’t get any speed behind your throws and when they hit you if felt like nothing more than a sharp gust of wind. I’ve never been the same since

We had a gym teacher that would allow us to play dodgeball with volleyballs… Probably the most painful but thrilling games of dodgeball I’ve played.
I remember that day well. That was a sad day.
Schools don’t use these balls anymore?!
