Our Team

Dodgeball Toronto was founded in 2018 based on the dire need for a dodgeball league to put player experience at the forefront, before any other priority.

The goal of Dodgeball Toronto is to use the power for sport to build community, promote a healthy and active lifestyle to our members, enhance social engagement, further prepare and develop high performing athletes within the sport, and above all else, provide a unique and exceptional experience made by the players, for the players.

Whether players have no skill, or a lot of skill, as long as they want to meet new people, develop their skillset and have fun, they will fit right in!

Players can register by themselves, with friends or with a full team. When it comes to getting you in the game, Dodgeball Toronto can, and will make it happen for anyone who wants in.

Minneapolis, MN

12 years in dodgeball

"I started playing dodgeball in 2012 during art school as a fun, active stress relief—and I’ve been hooked ever since. As a full-time graphic designer and photographer, with part-time freelance work, I love the variety in my days, much like the unpredictability of the court."

Ann came to us through her bff Claire Currie with a glowing recommendation (we've since learned all adulation is well deserved). She's become a tournament staple who's charm, wit and kind attentiveness makes our tournament go-ers from far and close feel right at home.

Our Media Team - Photography/Videography

Dodgeball Toronto would be nothing without our incredible media team who show up to every single event with smiles on their faces and a dedicated passion to helping us provide a good experience. The media team is on-site to ensure all of your best memories are captured (and to have plenty of material to create massive amounts of FOMO to anyone who couldn't make it to an event). Be sure to check out their socials to really get an idea of all the great work they do.
