Dodgeball apart of PE?

I feel that dodgeball shouldn't be played in a physical education classroom. Even though I grew up playing basically everyday. Whether it was at school p.e or at summer camp, I've always was into it. I believe that there are so many other different games or activities that can be taught to kids that will work on the same things. For instance, different motor skills that will benefit kids greatly. There also are many variations of dodgeball that can be played that aren't as intimidating for youngsters to play.
