Three Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (2 physical education, 1 rugby) set up a "Physical Education / Sports Subcommittee", that visited schools which they were assigned to go, spread awareness of dodgeball, and hold school competitions. At that time, the Japan Dodge Ball Association provided the balls and textbooks.
The volunteers started activities to create sports instruction books with the thought of spreading awareness of dodgeball, which allows both men and women to participate, having simple rules, fun exercising, and teach the students how to acquire teamwork skills.
With the support of balls and textbooks from the Japan Dodgeball Association, the volunteers visited schools in Kyrgyzstan and gave lessons to the students. About 100 children from 6 schools and 7 teams participated in the school competition. Teachers from each school encouraged their students to participate support each other during game play.

I am grateful to the Japanese volunteers who taught me Dodgeball. I want to play dodgeball even when I grow up, and I hope everyone can play it like basketball and soccer.
