Trying to dodge dodgeball

 

I'm nine, and I despise dodgeball (balon chasseur). Everyday in gym class, we play dodgeball, or something related.  Most of the girls, and even some boys, hate dodgeball. Since we hate it, we don't practice, which means we're not good at it.  Because we're not good, we sit on the bench most of the time. That sucks, and it's embarrassing because we're not doing anything on the court. And we actually want to exercise!  There's a million other things that we could do (Yoga, Kick-boing, HIIT), but our teacher always chooses Dodgeball.  Dodgeball is especially unfair for girls. Our teacher even said that when we play in teams of boys and girls, the boys will get one ball and the girls will get two. I thought that was really mean to say. I thought there was a women's revolution?
