Week 4 Coaches Day

Are you just starting out in dodgeball and want to improve some of your skills on the court? Or maybe you’ve been playing for years and want to reach that next level of your game, but don’t know how. Do you want to learn how to throw a curve ball or make catches even when multiple balls are being thrown at you? Maybe you just have a secret crush on someone in Tier 1 and you’ve been too shy to talk to them.

We are happy to announce that some of our highly regarded veteran players have volunteered their time this season to offer coaching to anyone who is looking to improve on the courts. Come join us on Monday night during Week 4 in a casual drop-in setting, where our coaches will be available to provide expert tips and share some of their trade secrets that have helped them reach the top of the VDL mountain. They will also play alongside you and go over game strategy for different scenarios throughout a match.

Come meet some friendly faces, play some dodgeball and maybe even pick up a few new tricks to add to your bag. It’ll be a ton of fun!
