Month: November 2019

Summer Windup

First of all, we’d like to apologize for the delay in booking a summer windup. With the closure of Movados we had to look around and create a new partnership with a new sponsor and make sure that they are able to continue to offer the community comparable.

Luckily, Garbonzos on Ellice (1320 Ellice Ave) stepped up and is offering something even better for the teams – instead of a free pitcher of beer each team will receive $20 towards their bill (which can cover a pitcher and a little extra!).

We will be hosting the Windup this Saturday November 30th at 8:00pm – we understand that 10 days is not huge notice, but so long as all goes well we should be able to book all the 2020 Windups in advance and give more notice then.

So come on down, eat, drink and be merry before the Holiday season hits and enjoy the company of your fellow dodgeballers!

Team league registration delayed

We will be delaying the opening of registration for our team leagues to November 27th at 6:30pm – the same time draft league opens to the public.

Unfortunately we are still waiting for a response from one of the gymnasiums, and do not want to open registration until we know exactly how much space we have as it will determine what divisions we can offer.

Dodgeball for Diabetes tournament incoming!
