躲避球運動是目前國小兒童喜歡的運動項目之一，而此項運動並非是台灣本土原有的運動，它是在怎樣的時代背景下傳入台灣?傳入台灣之後是如何推廣?是本研究的動機與目的。本研究使用歷史研究法，蒐集相關的史料，追杉躲避球運動傳入台灣國小的根源及傳入後實施之情形。躲避球的傳入是在1913(大正2)年，伴隨著日本政府公布的「學校體操教授要自」而傳入台灣，該要目適用於在台灣日本人子弟所就讀的小學校。因此，傳入之初僅實施於台灣的小學校。台灣總督府於1917年，以行政命令公布「學校體操教授要自J'要求台灣全省各級學校均須遵照此一要目來授課，所以躲避球運動不僅在小學、中學、職業學校中實施，連師範學校的課程中，亦列有躲避球運動，簡言之，在1917年以後，台灣地區，只要是學生在體操課中就會接觸到躲避球運動。在實施的實例方面:躲避球運動傳入台灣之初，並無專屬的用球，而是以足球代替;在場地方面，則有圓形與方形躲避球場之分別。躲避球運動傳入台灣之後，台灣總督府以全面的且齊頭並進的方式加以推展，在學生、教師的默默耕耘與向下紮根之下，奠定躲避球運動日後在台灣盛行的基礎。
