Imagine taking dodgeball and mixing in the strategy of baseball and the ambush element of paintball. What you get is a new game called Rageball 5.

What is Rageball 5?

Rageball is like an adult version of dodgeball, the old playground game, with the aggression of hurling balls at people. But it has more options and more strategy.

The ball is 6 inches in diameter, small enough to be held in the hand. The ball compresses, but it still hits hard enough to sting.
It has five people to a team and five balls. The sides of the playing area are divided by a zig-zagging waist-high barrier to allow people to hide and ambush. And it has five ways to score points, including by hurling the ball through a target or by hitting an opponent. It’s played in a small court on sand.
