We had an insane and warped version of dodgeball. We called it Slaughterball, or our slang was "Smear The Q"(apologies to the LGBTQ+ community).
Put a lineup of basketballs at the midcourt line. Line up everybody at the baseline, then a mad dash to the center of the court to pick up basketballs.
Those who weren't able to grab one were the "victims". You'd have to line up against the concrete wall, and have balls thrown at your head from the top of the key. We had really good fastball pitchers in our midst.
One kid went to the hospital with a concussion. The school finally put an end to that practice.
We also played tackle football during PE. Similar results. A kid sustained a compound fracture, so they put an end to that too.![]()

We had smear the well you know. It was a twisted form of rugby really. Lots of broken bones and numerous injuries. Good times.
We also had murderball. Which was a sick form of dodgeball with a smaller ball the size of a softball maybe a bit bigger. Lots of blackeyes.
