Should I register as an Individual, Small Group, or Team?
If you are looking to meet new people while playing , register as an individual. Players who register as an individual will be placed either on a team comprised of all registered individuals or a team that needs extra players.
If you want to play with certain people, but don't have enough players to fill a full team (recommended amount is 10-12), each player should register as an individual and list the names of the people you want to play with in your comments on the online registration form.
If you have enough players to field a team, it is recommended to register as a team.
Where do we play?
Games will take place in an OUTDOOR COURT in Honolulu.
Are there different divisions?
At this time, we will only have a Casual division.
Players who have played dodgeball professionally (yes, this exists) will not be allowed to play, and will be automatically disqualified without refund.

Foam Dodgeball - Outdoor Court
Our favorite game in gym class back for us big kids! Don't worry though, we're using rubber-coated foam dodgeballs so it won't hurt (and it still flies wicked quick). Come out and throw, dodge, duck, and dive! When that's over, head over to happy hour to get a drink! If you can dodge a wrench...(yes, we've heard it)
