DW update & Throwing Clinic w/ Nick Grenier

DW update:
Two years ago Dodgeball Winnipeg was acquired by Colton Bertrand and Jordan Ferris with the goal of bringing back to the community of Winnipeg the sport of dodgeball as it was before the pandemic. Effective Sept 30, 2023, Colton has made the personal decision to exit the company. We would like to take this opportunity to publicly say thank you to Colton for his participation and efforts towards achieving our goal. We wish Colton all the best in his future endeavors.Moving forward, we are happy to announce that Nick Grenier will be replacing Colton on this shared dodgeball journey. We have decided our company goals will be shifting. The effort and plans are already in motion to shift the business from simply a pandemic recovery, to growth of the sport & player base. Please help me in Welcoming Nick to the team by coming out to his first event as an organizer of the sport!

DW Throwing Clinic w/ Nick Grenier
Nick will be sharing tips, drills, feedback and knowledge from his pitching training before he began playing dodgeball, and then we will lead into a small team drafted scrimmage!

Nick was trained to throw in baseball at the AAA and provincial level, and did camps with college and pro level coaches during his baseball career. He has also contributed to coaching at the AAA level.

The focus of the program will be on velocity, and shoulder endurance.

Fall 2023 Price Increase

To all of our dodgeballers,

Over the years dodgeball has thrived in the sense of inclusivity and barrier reduction to adult sport. It has been so long since we have had a price change, that we feel it is necessary to be as transparent as possible. As some of you may know, COVID-19 saw the beginning of a drastic inflation to our general world in Canada. Dodgeball was not exempt from this, and everything from gym time to balls has inflated to a near 25-50% rate in some cases. For as long as we have been able to, we have held off increasing our prices to allow that accessibility and affordability back into the sport after the pandemic died down. It was important to us to deliver dodgeball as it was before the pandemic, after the pandemic.

After just shy of two years after returning to play, we have had to make the decision to increase our team fees and adjust our shop prices to reflect the new costs of operating for Fall 2023 and beyond. Please trust that we do not take these increases lightly, and will take as marginal steps as possible in any change we make. Accessibility and affordability is still our priority.

Team fees will be going up $50 per team. Recreational/Intermediate teams will now be $625 and competitive teams will now be $645. For a roster of 8 individuals, this is a price increase of approximately $6 per person per season. (or 66 cents per game, per person). Draft or individual registration will also be adjusted to reflect the changes ($79.95). The majority of the funds as a result of the increase will be going into investing in our officials while the rest will combat the inflation towards operating costs. In regards to our officials, we intend to incentivize active participation in officiating games and making officiating more desirable monetarily, while also consulting and creating development and evaluation programs for officiating that are already being prepared for launch in Fall 2023.

If anyone has any questions, please reach out to info@dodgeballwinnipeg.com. Thank you,
