Getting Started

Welcome to BOSS Dodgeball!

BOSS Dodgeball League is a non-profit organization operated by a team of passionate, dedicated, and professional individuals, who truly value athleticism and sportsmanship.

We’re a community of people who are not only excited to share this style of dodgeball with you, but love making friends both on and off the courts!

BOSS dodgeball plays a style of dodgeball that is fast-paced, fun, and exciting.
We play with foam (not rubber!) dodgeballs.
While each game only typically lasts around 2-4 minutes, we promise it’s nothing short of a great workout!

So how do I get started?

First and foremost, you need to be 18 years old to play, and have signed our waiver
Check out our schedule for any tournaments or drop-ins and come check us out! They’re easy going, one-time commitments with randomized teams, so you’ll be able to meet and play with people at various experience levels.
Check out our general rules. If you’re coming from other leagues, the main things to note are that:
1. Teammates cannot make a catch to save you. YOU, and ONLY you can save yourself. AND
2. Headshots do count. (But are DEEPLY frowned upon. Please prioritize accuracy over power!)
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook. There’s also a players discussion group on Facebook which is a great place to see what’s happening with the community (and where you can find a team!)
Check out our Registration Page to sign up for the league, which run for 10 weeks and includes a playoff day!

What level am I at?

If you feel like you’re pretty new to the sport, start with our Tuesday Social League.
If you’ve played in other dodgeball leagues, you may find our competitive league to be better suited for you.
Regardless of your level, you are welcome to come try out one of our nights and go from there!
Reach out to us on Facebook, Instagram or Email us at hello@bossdodgeball.ca if you have questions, or are wanting to join a team but don’t know where to start.

How do I get better?

Play more! Check out our tournaments, drop-ins, and draft leagues to level up your dodgeball game.
Try helping out with reffing. We strongly encourage this to help learn the rules of our game!
We occasionally run skills clinics, and also try to incorporate Pro Tips from our experienced players during Tuesday League Nights to help players improve. Topics covered ranges from throwing to blocking, “ball sweeping” and other on court strategies.

I’ve joined the league, now what?

Check your e-mail: captains will receive an e-mail a week or two before the season starts with all important information and dates.
Communicate with your team / set up a group chat with your team!
Schedules are released a week or two before the start of the season. They are also posted on our homepage.
Scores for the night can be found under “League” > “Standings & Rosters“ and are generally updated within 24 hours.
Remember to check your Playoff date! They are usually on the Saturday after the last league night.
In case you haven’t heard, we like to PARTY. So come out and join us for our iconic BOSS NIGHT at the end of every season
