Dodgeball in India

Apparently there was a three-day dodgeball tournament in India last weekend - the 1st Junior Chandigarh State Dodge Ball Championsihp. Girls and boys from local high schools participated. Cool.

Hosted by "Dodgeball Association", the school's Finance and Sports secretary presented the trophies and "complimented the efforts of the Dodgeball Association to popularize the game among students."

Here is the most intriguing part to me: The president of the association narrated the history of dodgeball "which started about 600 years ago in Africa and from there it went to Europe and USA."

Yet another theory! I love theories of dodgeball history. Anyone care to challenge that one?
