help me come up with a counter argument for the defendant:

Position Statement: Arguing for the Plaintiff (Clara)

1.Is dodgeball an unreasonably dangerous sport? Should it be played in k-12 schools?

- Dodgeball can indeed pose risks, especially when played by children of varying ages and sizes. The nature of the game involves throwing balls at high speeds, which increases the likelihood of injuries, including concussions.

Given the potential for harm, schools should carefully consider the risks before allowing dodgeball to be played, especially without adequate supervision and safety measures in place.

2.Was it improper to leave the volleyball goals in place? Dio this create an unreasonably dangerous condition?

- Leaving the volleyball goals in place without removing the net created a hazardous condition. The presence of the posts increased the risk of injury, especially considering that the game was played in close proximity to them. This decision contributed to the accident and subsequent injury suffered by Clara.

3. Should the counselors have allowed Clara to keep playing?

- No, the counselors should not have allowed Clara to continue playing after she hit her head on the volleyball post. Head injuries, even if initially appearing minor, require immediate attention and assessment by medical professionals. Allowing Clara to continue playing was negligent and put her health at further risk.

4. Did the delay in calling 911 increase the injury to Clara?

- Yes, the delay in calling 911 likely worsened Clara's injury. Prompt medical attention is crucial in cases of head trauma to prevent further complications. The delay in calling for emergency services prolonged Clara's exposure to potential harm and contributed to the severity of her condition.

5. Were the children improperly matched (6th graders

versus 8th graders)?

- Yes, the children were improperly matched. Combining

6th graders with 8th graders in a physical activity like dodgeball can create an unfair playing field and increase the risk of injury, as seen in Clara's case.

6.What procedures should have been communicated and practiced by camp personnel?

- Camp personnel should have been trained to recognize and respond to signs of heat illness, head injuries, and other medical emergencies promptly. Clear protocols for assessing injuries and contacting emergency services should have been in place and communicated to all staff members. Additionally, age-appropriate activities with proper supervision and safety measures should have been implemented to minimize risks to participants.
