Racket balls are to hard and will probably hurt, the foam golf balls work but they just don't have enough weight to go anywhere. I've tryed a lot of stuff.

Yeah, what is was think was just to take basic dodgeball and use the foam balls that I have and just play dodgeball with slings, it's easy to learn, safe, fun and competitive. Sound like the perfect sport to me. Thoughts? 

Yep, agreed.

What about cutting  the size of the field  in 1/2?? Would also give a more high speed game,  like dodgeball.

I know this thread is old, and outdated. But I think this deserves a sticky. Especially with the new members we get all the time here. It's one of those forgotten great ideas here. I was just thinking about it recently. Since I have the land, maybe I can start doing more work on field size.  I have a few neighbors that would be interested in playing this and getting it off the ground.
I looked into it a couple years back.  Think special helmets and some sort of padding would suffice.  Almost like professional paintball team uniforms that are used for speedball.  I will take some more research over the winter when I am coupled up in my tiny home

Haven't u seen the padded uniforms of paintball players? Lots of range of movement. Personally I wouldn't use racquet balls. Way to hard,  but them again a lot softer then baseball's.

That would need another set of strict rules for it. That only certain players could use which type, and the referees would probably have a hard time looking for it, unless you added more referees to the field,  which in my opinion, would make the fields, during play look cluttered and unorganized.  Plus more chances of a referee getting in the way, and getting hit. I spent some time years ago, as a paintball referee. Those things do happen.

I like the idea of making this sticky..
