Come down to one of our training sessions and see what the sport is all about!
Dodgeball is a fast-paced game for everyone. It is played across the world by people of all ages, genders and skill and abilities. Making it one of the most enjoyable, ever-growing clubs on campus. The rules are simple. Two teams of 6 attempt to eliminate each other from the game by throwing or catching the balls. If you’ve seen the movie starring Ben Stiller, you get the idea…
We cater for players who just want to have fun as well as those with a competitive streak. So why not give it a go? Going into the 2024/25 season, Dodgeball will be entering both 2 men's teams and a women's team into the BUCS league, alongside numerous open tournaments. With so many opportunities for both men and women to play in tournaments and leagues, we are always looking for new players to develop and compete.
Alongside the training and competitions, we host weekly socials ranging from our infamous Ladies Takeover night to our yearly Colours tournament! You'll have tons of fun and make lifelong friends, so there's no reason not to join.
Competitive Dodgeball
Dodgeball has been one of the highest performing clubs in the entire university with a team in the Premier National league. If you not only want to have some fun and stay in shape, but want to itch that competitive scratch then trying out for one of the competitive teams could be for you. Whether you are a seasoned pro or have never heard of the sport before, we are happy to accomodate any newcomers and bring you up to speed. This season we will have 2 mens teams and 1 womens team, so try out and see if you have what it takes.
Social Dodgeball
If competitions aren't your thing or you're just wanting to meet new people and have some fun then thats no problem! Our sessions also contain minigames and more fun-oriented activities for those looking for more of a relaxed experience. We also host socials every week with various themes and activities ranging from the infamous colours tournament to ice skating and lazer quest.
