If your new year’s resolutions include any of the following:

“I want to break a sweat / get fit / exercise!”

“I want to learn / try something new!”

“I want to meet new people / make more friends!”

“I want to HAVE FUN!”

…then we’ve got just the event for you!

Ready for a fresh take on dodgeball? VDL is proud to ring in 2014 with a brand new dodgeball game called Super Squares!

Shake off that holiday rust and join us on Sunday, January 12th, 2014 for our first ever Super Squares Tournament. There will be awesome prizes for the winning teams in two separate tiers and the best-dressed team.

Here at VDL we are all about community; when any of our own is in need we rally behind them. Right now, our long-time player and beloved exec, Al Kouril, is fighting for his life. Cancer has invaded his body and it’s been, and continues to be, a difficult, terrible, and trying time for him and his family. All proceeds from this tournament will go towards Al’s treatment and we sincerely urge you to join us, the VDL family, in supporting him. So, come play some NBA Jam-inspired style dodgeball, participate in the raffle draw, and help out a fellow dodgeball-lover while you’re at it!

Catchers, it’s your time to shine! (Not that you aren’t already super-shiny in the dodgeball realm.) In Super Squares, a catch can massively affect gameplay by bringing your entire team back in. How does that work?

Tournament Rules

  1. There are 3 squares taped off on each side of the court.

  1. If you make a catch in the #1 square, all of your eliminated teammates will be brought back into play. If there are no eliminated teammates, the catch will not carry over.
  2. If you make a catch in the #2 square, basic catching rules apply. The Ref will toss your team a Fireball and only your team can use this ball. If your Fireball lands in the opposing court and does not roll back, it will be out of play. (A Fireball is a different coloured ball that cannot be caught, blocked, or used to block with.)
  3. If you make a catch in the #3 square, catches only eliminate but will not bring back an eliminated teammate.
  4. For your catch to activate a square, you must have at least one foot touching the inside of the taped square during the completion of the catch.
  5. All other standard IDA rules apply.
