Description |
Really Recreational |
This is a division where you need to come
with an open mind and a sense of humour. If the majority of a team is new to
Dodgeball or is not overly concerned about wins and losses, then this is the
right division for them. Teams can learn the sport and its rules, practice
their skills, and move up to higher divisions in future seasons. Better
players are expected to let up at times and there should be no disagreements
over any plays. Wins
and losses do not count in this league - standings are based on sportsmanship
points given to one another and from the Games Coordinator. At the end of the
season there will be a Dodgarama for two weeks that is full of costumes,
games, and fun. The winner of the division is decided on by vote. Teams vote
on the most fun, sportsmanlike, and outgoing teams.
|
Recreational |
This division will feature teams that may have some skilled players, but also many inexperienced players and the team as a whole is just in it for the fun. If several of the players are hard throwing and quite competitive in nature then the team should move up to a higher level. In this level, Sportsmanship ratings will have a more direct impact on each team’s standings than in higher divisions. Teams in this division must have a “fun first” approach to every game.
Note: Teams that register for Recreational but have had good success in this level will likely be moved up to a higher division before the season starts.
|
Recreational Plus |
This division is for more experienced and successful teams. Players can throw and dodge with more speed and accuracy, and the team is looking for more challenge than the Recreational (starter) level. Not all players need to be highly skilled; it is more about the average skill and competitiveness of the team as a whole.
Note: This is not a super competitive division, it will just feature teams that are better than starter level. Teams that register for Recreational Plus but have had good success in this level will likely be moved up to a higher division before the season starts.
|
Intermediate |
This division is for teams that have more
experience or past success than an average team in Recreational Plus.
Intermediate teams are looking for a good challenge each night and don’t want
to play weaker teams that will result in a blow out. Most players on the team
have experience playing Dodgeball and are solid in the fundamentals, while
the line-up also includes a few very strong players.
Note: Teams that register for a lower
level (Rec or Rec Plus) but have had good past success with the SSC in that
level will likely be moved up to the Intermediate division before the season
starts.

DIVISION NOTES |
(1) SSC division offerings are based on the experience and skill level of the teams - not on their competitive behaviour. All SSC players are expected to play with a ‘fun-first, winning second’ attitude regardless of their division.
(2) The SSC may move your team up or down a division based on past results or the quality of other teams that have registered this season. Seeding for 2-3 weeks is another option the Club uses to re-align teams into the appropriate level after registering.
(3) Because the SSC does not host try-outs, teams/individuals/groups are expected to read the division descriptions and place themselves in the most appropriate division. If players are unsure of which division to register for, they are welcome to contact the office anytime for advice. |
