In general, dodgeball is an excellent game to train general body awareness.

The more control you have over your body, the better balance, coordination and throwing-abilities – the better an dodgeball-player you are. For some it comes by nature, others are not so lucky.

By first you could do some ball-exercises at home:

Practice in catching the ball in different positions
Practice throwing into a wall, and catching the ball again
Throw the ball against a small target 5 meters away.

Look at the ones doing good in your gymclasses.
What are they doing?
Are they standing still with straight legs, arms down their side and looking away from the enemy ball-holder? (most likely not).

Move around, have focus on the ball, get to know your body and its limits.

Good luck!
