    Hi guys

    New to boards so hope I've posted in the correct forum. I'm involved with the Irish Dodgeball Association and we currently have leagues running in both Waterford and Dublin and are looking to start another league in Cork city if there is enough interest.

    Dodgeball is a great sport to get involved in that both males and females can play and enjoy together. It's a lot of fun BUT it's also very competitive too. It's a offically recognised sport in the UK and they hold national and regional tournaments through out the year, we're hoping to do the same in Ireland in the near future too!

    Hoping to run a dodgeball open day/evening in Cork city soon with some info about dodgeball and let people have a go at it.

    If your interested then please PM me or send an email to cork@dodgeball-ireland.com and I'll be more than happy to reply to any queries about dodgeball.

    Irish Dodgeball Association (IDBA) web address is www.dodgeball-ireland.com if you're interested and want to find out a bit about it.

    Our first big tournament to be held in Ireland is coming up in November, hoping to get dodgeball team or two from Cork to compete at it.

    Had to post this video.

    :o

    Good luck with it though, any activity that gets people off the couch and out and keeping fit and socailising is a good thing.

    Hahaha, that's what comes to mind when I mention dodgeball to anyone! Unlike the film, we don't train people to dodge wrenches....we only use soft dodgeballs, not horrible rubber red ones either : )
