Stuck in an Abandoned School

You turn to the man and say, “We’re ready to play.”
He smiles and says, “Here’s how this is going to work. We will both start at opposite ends of the gym. When I say go, you are allowed to go get a dodgeball. If you get hit, you’re out. If I get hit, then you guys win.”
You walk to your end of the gym, ready to play.
You turn to Paul and say, “We got this.”
Paul returns your enthusiasam with a nod.
The man screams, “GOOO!”
You charge to where the dodgeballs are, and you see that there are 2 different colors of dodgeballs. There is blue and purple.
