Drunken Summer Dodgeball Video

Make that drunken summer dodgeball with a large, inflated exercise ball that smells bad (probably because it is subjected to ass on a regular basis). This is an awesome display of grown ups having fun.

Funny Dodgeball Video With Actor Michael Rosenbaum

I think he says their team name is "The Wall Street Cockbrokers". Hilarious.

Reality Dodgeball

On December 8, the 1st Annual Reality Castaways Dodgeball Tournament will take place in Long Island.

More than 45 former contestants from the hit CBS reality show Survivor will come together to play dodgeball and raise funds benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. The event is hosted in conjunction with Reality 4 Diabetes and was put together by Cook Islands contestants Billy Garcia and Cristina Coria.

Some of the castaways who will be ducking, dipping and diving their way through the tournament include Rupert Boneham, Big Tom Buchanan, and Lex van den Berhe from Survivor: All Stars.

After you have devoured your NFL football, turkey and pumpkin pie (and if you live in San Francisco) head over to Dolores Park's tennis courts (near 18th and Church St.) starting at 9:00pm. Click here for more information.

The only catch is you have to stay awake after you eat long enough to digest, sober up and get yourself there.

Toronto Dodgeball Tournaments in November

My league, the Toronto Central Sport and Social Club will be hosting another dodgeball tournament on Saturday November 24. You can get more information here.

They are offering two different tournaments: recreational and intermediate levels. The cost is $225 per team.

I went to the last one a few weeks ago, and I thought it was one of the most fun dodgeball tournaments they've had yet - except for the annual indoor beach tourney. That's the highlight of the year!

Dodgeball in India

Apparently there was a three-day dodgeball tournament in India last weekend - the 1st Junior Chandigarh State Dodge Ball Championsihp. Girls and boys from local high schools participated. Cool.

Hosted by "Dodgeball Association", the school's Finance and Sports secretary presented the trophies and "complimented the efforts of the Dodgeball Association to popularize the game among students."

Here is the most intriguing part to me: The president of the association narrated the history of dodgeball "which started about 600 years ago in Africa and from there it went to Europe and USA."

Yet another theory! I love theories of dodgeball history. Anyone care to challenge that one?

Los Angeles Dodgers Of Toronto

After months of messaging on MySpace with captain Chris, I finally had the pleasure of playing the L.A. Dodgers of Toronto a few times now, in my local league and at a tournament yesterday.

They made this awesome video on YouTube that has a great soundtrack and is chock full of fantastic videography and selective dodgeball action which showcases this team's spirit and sincere love for the game. This is a real stand up team of friendly folks and great players.



Enjoy the video and watch for Chris's amazing catch at the end!

Dodgeball movie star dating Drew Barrymore

Wow, this feels like a real blog now, complete with Hollywood gossip.

Yes folks, Dodgeball movie star Justin Long (also known as "the Mac guy" on Apple commercials) was seen making out with Drew Barrymore (E.T., The Wedding Singer) last weekend at Jet Nightclub in Las Vegas.

Doesn't that totally look like a camera phone picture? I grabbed this image from this Web site called fametastic (British, of course), where I learned the news.

Fall Dodgeball Leagues Update

It's been awhile since I posted so I thought I would gather up all the fall dodgeball league information I could find and crank it all into one post, so here goes. If you have a league you would like to promote, please post a comment!

Carson City, Nevada - This league spawned from a group of teens playing dodgeball behind an empty Kmart until they got chased out by the police. After that, a tennis court, where upwards of 60 youth showed up on any given night.
