*Drop-in players will fill in for absent players or join teams that want subs.
**VIDL players may register as they identify themselves and play as such, regardless of physical sex characteristics or where they may be in any transition between genders. We believe that everyone is free to identify, label, and define themselves as the gender identity that makes the most sense to them.
As a co-ed league we endeavour to have a 3:1 Male:Womxn/NB ratio for our teams. To ensure we are close to this mix, we will reserve spots accordingly:
Male: 32 spots
Womxn/NB: 16 spots
Our draft league in Nanaimo will usher you into a world of great dodgeball with the most widely used ruleset in BC. Come touch our premium balls that have hit, grazed, and deflected into every body part of a player’s body since 2004. Bounce them. Hold 2. Hold 5! Catch 1! Catch 2 at the same time! Pass them to a teammate!
Each season will have its own double-elimination playoffs as well as Legendary Pub Nights (S13-14 will have a shared LPN during Spring Break)!
Once registered, you’ll be assessed (throw/catch in-game) on Exhibition Week so we can draft you onto a team that will thrive with your skillset (newbies are the best!).
Please let us know if you prefer to have a buddy stay with you when teams are being created.
A typical league night looks like:
- 4 teams per court (pending registration)
- 2 teams playing, and the other teams will provide 4 players to ref
- Play each team on your court 4-6 games where your wins are recorded and tallied
- Once your team has finished all its games, we’ll transition to our Big Ass Dodgeball Games with all (48+) players in the gym
- Pack up and head to the pub!
As a register player, enjoy the perks:
- Free Legendary Pub Night ticket ($20 value!)
- Belong to a team of new and familiar faces (great for newcomers to Nanaimo)
- More cost-efficient than drop-in (as low as $6.77/night!)
- Freebies and discounts from our generous sponsors/partners
- Subsidy toward playing in the Tournament of Champions in Vancouver
- The good karma that comes with supporting a non-profit, community-centered league
