It may surprise you to know that at every Olympic Games, some sports are added and others taken away. For example, did you know that tug-of-war was once an Olympic sport? It was dropped long ago though. In London 2012, women's boxing was added. In Rio 2016, golf and rugby sevens were included. Baseball and softball were dropped after Beijing 2008, but returned for Tokyo 2020. Another sport that got approved for Tokyo 2020 was climbing. One sport that isn't on the list of Olympic Games, is trampoline dodgeball (蹦床躲避球). Both climbing and trampoline dodgeball are popular with teens. That's because you don't need to invest in lots of expensive equipment. The following is more related information about them.
Dodgeball is a team game in which players throw balls at each other. The objective is to beat the opposing team's players by hitting them with a ball, catching a ball (the thrower is out), or forcing a player out of the court. In trampoline dodgeball, the game is the same but takes place on a court made out of trampolines. The court has a bouncy floor and high bouncy walls. It's surrounded by nets to catch the balls. The action is fast and fun, and you'll always have a soft landing if you fall!
When might trampoline dodgeball be an Olympic sport? Nobody knows! New sports must fulfil many strict rules before they're accepted. For example, trampoline dodgeball will need to have one set of rules that everyone follows. This includes playing in the same-sized court using the same type of ball.
