Have you ever wondered who the friendly face was at the other end of the dodgeball court, but were afraid to cross “enemy lines”? Here’s your chance to find out! Saturday, February 25, come out to our spring social and meet new friends and get to know your fellow players in our dodgeball community!
We will be kicking off the day off with some bowling at Lucky 9 Lanes in Richmond, followed by dinner and drinks at Original Joe’s.
For more details and to RSVP, please visit the Facebook event page. We hope to see you all there!
Due to the cancellation of this past Monday’s league games, Week Four has been rescheduled to February 20, the next usual league night. However, due to securing enough gyms, we will now also play both Mondays over spring break in March, so the season’s end and playoffs will not be delayed.
Remember, there are no games this upcoming Monday, February 13, due to Family Day. Enjoy the day off, and we will see you in a couple weeks!
Earlier today we posted that dodgeball would be on – since then, the snow has started falling heavily and road conditions are poor. Therefore, we are canceling official league games tonight, so teams do not have to show up.
However, we are going to be running fun, drop-in-style games at Cook Elementary School from 7:00 PM until 10:00 PM (or we get tired!). Please note that we are not playing at Tomsett Elementary School at all. Regardless of which gym you were supposed to play in, go to Cook if you want to play fun games.
We will announce how this week will be made up later.
The Richmond Dodgeball League is hosting drop-ins at Cook Elementary School every Monday league night from 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Drop-ins are open to everyone 19+, so this is a great opportunity to get some extra practice in, or to bring a friend out to try a new sport.
Entry is by donation, with all funds going to the Richmond Food Bank. If you plan on coming, please sign our 2017 waiver. We hope to see you there!
Season Six is about ready to kick off, and to get you all prepared we are hosting Dodgeball 101 and Vets Night sessions this upcoming Monday, January 9.
Dodgeball 101 is intended for new players, or players who want to brush up on the basics of dodgeball. We will be covering the rules, reffing, and of course will play plenty of practice games. Vets Night is for our seasoned vets who want to get ready for the regular season, which starts the following Monday, January 16.
We invite you and your teammates to fill out out the form: RDL S6 Dodgeball 101/Vets Night Signup
Dodgeball 101 will run at Cook Elementary School from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, while Vets Night will run at Tomsett Elementary School in two sessions from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, and 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM.
Please note that space is limited to players registered for RDL Season Six. We still have spots remaining: http://rdldodgeball.ca/register/
See you on Monday!
The gyms for next week, December 5, have been changed from Cook to Blair and Tomsett to Talmey. Please check the schedule and let your teammates know!
Do you enjoy playing dodgeball in RDL and want to help make it even better? The best way is to volunteer as an exec and join us in running the league, and it just so happens we’re looking for a few people for next season and beyond.

Our league is fully run by volunteers and we appreciate everyone who wants to lend their time to make it possible.
Season Five is going to be wrapping up on Saturday, December 10 at Richmond Secondary School. This is what you and your team have been working towards all season: The chance to battle it out and win the championship!
Doors will open at noon and friends and family are welcome to come spectate. Please note that we will be checking that you signed your waiver at the door and that you have played the requisite four weeks since doing so to be eligible to participate in the playoffs.
