arrive and hit the changing rooms, don the obligatory team uniforms (see “clothing” below) and then head for the court. Start with some practice rounds to get the old arms in and then let the games commence. Select a competent ref who knows the essential dodgeball rules (see below) and then play 10 minutes each way with a 2 minute half-time stop, where as far as we’re concerned any spontaneous breakdancing should be awarded extra points.
If your group size is more than 10 split up into multi teams to play a round robin. If it is around 10 then play at least 2 matches, preferably “matchplay – eg best of 3”.
format
in the UK dodgeball markings are not typical so before you start playing agree the boundaries amongst yourselves in advance.
The definitive measurements are as follows: “The playing field shall be a rectangle at least 50 ft long and at least 30 ft wide, divided into two (2) equal sections by a center-line and attack-lines 3m from, and parallel to the centerline.” Importantly make sure the centre and attack lines are clear. There’s a few basic rules, they’re not complicated but rather than write them out here, see the official USA guide here or in short here.
duration
from 1 hour.
equipment
several sponge balls are required and not always available so make sure you take your own, we can arrange to supply 6 for you if required. Also make sure you take a whistle for the ref.
clothing
you have to dress up, see here for inspiration, but with 5 in a team why not have different uniforms / shirts / fancy dress and definitely make the groom dress embarrassingly and take lots of photos!
availability
7 days a week, though don’t play first thing in the morning after a big night.
group size
10+.
experience
none required and the best thing is it’s easy to pick up and enjoy.
comment
fantastic fun, lively and cheap, dodgeball is a great way to fill the stag weekend with content and not break the bank but … do it properly, make it tick and it will be rewarding and hilarious; go at it half hearted and it will be nothing like what it could be.
As a tip make sure you get some team dodgeball outfits sorted eg the A team, drag sisters, 118 boys, leather boys, disco boys, afro men, the list goes on.
available in
Bath, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Chester, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Newquay, Nottingham, Portsmouth, York
