General Description

Get active and have some fun this season by joining the Club’s fastest growing sport: Dodgeball. Despite popular belief, this is not a child’s game anymore! Get ready to dodge, dip, dive, and duck while meeting other CSSC members in one of our most social sports. The beauty is that anyone can play Dodgeball, and new players and teams pick up the skills and strategy quickly! There are also various Dodgeball Tourneys throughout the year where you can sharpen your skills. It’s a 6 on 6 game, with a minimum of two females on the court at all times. We offer Really Recreational, Recreational, Recreational Plus, and Intermediate divisions. All games have a Coordinator present but you are expected to call your own fouls and be responsible for your own play. We encourage you to play with a ‘fun-first’ attitude at our various medium sized school gyms throughout the city. After your game, meet-up with your teammates and other CSSC players while enjoying exclusive specials at one of our many Sponsor Bars around Calgary.

Who Can Play?

Adults aged 18 and older may join any of our Dodgeball Leagues. We welcome full teams, small groups (5 or more players but not a full team), friends (2-4 players) and individual registrations. Small groups, friends and individual registrations are combined with other similar registrants to form a team that remains together for the duration of the season.

DODGEBALL DIVISION DESCRIPTIONS

Level

                                                      
                                                       Description

Really Recreational

This is a division where you need to come with an open mind and a sense of humor. Players in this league are new to the sport and want to come out and throw the ball around for fun. Wins and losses do not count in this league. Standings are based on sportsmanship points given to one another and from the GC. 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

If you've played Dodgeball before or want to join a league where wins and losses count, this is the league for you! Players in this league can throw a dodgeball somewhat accurately and feel confident in their dodging abilities. Teams that have natural athletes will do well in this division.

Recreational Plus

If you have a few seasons under your belt, and finished in the top half of the standings in Recreational then this is the league you should play in. Teams in this division will show a higher level of skill and experience than the average recreational team. You may see an occasional organized attack at this level, in addition to an increase in teamwork.

Intermediate

Generally this division sees teams that have played together for numerous seasons. Teams are able to work together to form 'organized attacks' on their opponents. If your team is highly skilled than this is the league for you. Just like all levels, sportsmanship is still very important in this division.

The above divisions are created based on skill level and not on competitive behaviour. All SSC players are expected to play with a ‘fun-first, winning second’ attitude. The SSC may move your team up or down a division based on seasonal results.
