We have updated information about the rulesets and Team USA player selection guidelines and have opened registration for the first two rounds of the Premier Tour!
On this International Women's Day, USA Dodgeball would like to celebrate all women and women-identifying individuals who are a part of our organization. A new Gender Diversity Committee, led by Casey Reed, has been implemented and is tasked with broadening our reach and growing the sport for women and women-presenting individuals.
As we draw closer to the first Premier Tour Event we are happy to announce the Team USA Player Selection Guidelines have been updated to include the Player Skills and Attributes as well as the Scout Worksheet. If you have any questions please reach out to [email protected].

Gender Diversity Committee Chair: Casey Reed
Casey joined dodgeball in 2016 via the women’s league in LA, mostly because the league after-parties were more fun than the local competitive volleyball leagues she was used to. She realized the power of the dodgeball community after bouncing around the only Women’s UDC event sponsored by Skyzone in 2018.
Casey has dedicated the past 13+ years of her professional career to improving representation of — and creating opportunities for — historically-underrepresented groups in Sports & Entertainment. She wrote and published some 140+ pages on marketing professional women athletes, and the patterns and norms that would need to be reversed in order to increase participation, spectatorship and viewership numbers. (And mayyy be considering a rewrite to check-in with where we are, more than 10 years later…)
Outside of sports, Casey loves lounging with her cuddly 10lb Chiweenie, Lady Frankie, and currently holds a Guinness World Record for live-streaming 161 consecutive hours of Game of Thrones. (That’s every episode, every season, at least twice.)
She is excited to be a part of growing gender representation and participation in Dodgeball. If you’d like to share your ideas for actionable goals or solutions, or just want to chat, you can find her at @caseydreed6 on Instagram or say hi in Phoenix, where she’ll be captaining the second USA season with LFG (Women’s) and debuting on the all-new, mostly-queer, Mixed team: Princesses 👑.
Tournament Director: Alex Watkins
Alex’s dodgeball journey began in 2011 when he joined the club dodgeball team at DePaul University, which was a member of the NCDA (National Collegiate Dodgeball Association). Through DePaul dodgeball, he and other teammates were introduced to fellow Chicago dodgeball players, and through them, learned about Elite Dodgeball. The amazing community, in combination with his competitive drive, got him hooked on the sport. Alex helped co-found Windy City Corruption with fellow DePaul players, and participated in numerous Elite and UDC tournaments. Most recently, he joined Chicago Task Force, and looks forward to playing with them during the 2023 Premier Tour.
In March of 2022, Alex broke his arm while playing in a tournament. He knew he still wanted to remain involved with the sport and community during the recovery process and offered his services to the Executive Board in helping to run rounds in the North region and assist with Nationals 2022. For the 2023 season, he is looking forward to continuing to assist with tournament direction, and work alongside Sean, Alfred and the rest of the USAD Board and staff to ensure this year is a memorable one.

Sean’s dodgeball journey began in 2013. He’d get together once or twice a week with his friends from high school as a way to keep those friendships he made and what better way to do that than throwing around some no-sting balls at a Skyzone! After realizing they were pretty decent in their local area, the group started traveling to participate in tournaments in the northeast where he would be introduced to other players in the community and start to learn of the other forms of dodgeball that exist across the country. Sean participated in his first season at Elite Dodgeball in 2018 with his team “Impact” which would later become “Shred” with the USA Dodgeball Premier Tour.
In 2021 Sean decided to push to bring dodgeball to his local community in order to create a pipeline to other forms of dodgeball. He created Nutmeg Dodgeball, a recreation league in Middletown, Connecticut that did so well the city took it on as one of their own programs shortly after its creation. The part of dodgeball that means the most to Sean is the friendships he’s made along the way. He strongly feels that he would not have any opportunity he has been given if it wasn’t for every single conversation he’s had with all of you along the way.
Sean is looking to build a staff of fellow directors with the same mindset as him of wanting to grow and operate the premier tour at the highest level possible. As a head carpenter back home and a foreman since the age of 19 he plans to oversee the premier tour to the same standard he would oversee a construction site. If you are interested in becoming a USA Dodgeball Premier Tour Tournament Director please read the position’s responsibilities sheet and fill out the application. Applications can be sent to [email protected].
Rebecca has been playing dodgeball since 2013, starting in South Jersey’s Playmore rec league. She somehow got talked into participating in a few local East Coast tournaments in 2016 and was immediately hooked on the community, as well as the sport.
She currently captains the Broad Street Bullies women’s team out of Philadelphia and plays in the Philly Dodgeball league. She is dedicated to expanding the sport for all, especially for women, and is happy to take on this position and help USA Dodgeball grow as a community.
A journalist by trade, Rebecca has worked in newsrooms covering local news, national stories and niche topics and is also adept at social media and video coverage. She is looking to expand the media and marketing team, so if you would like to participate, please email [email protected].

Los Angeles, CA – USA Dodgeball publishes Foam & Cloth Invites for Combine happening in Denver, CO.
We are excited to release our combine invitees for the FOAM & CLOTH DIVISIONS!! There is so much talent coming out of a 2 year hiatus of dodgeball! Having only had a few months with limited events to prepare wasn’t the ideal way we wanted to be scouting or fielding a team, as it rushed a lot of efforts, however, you all SHOWED UP. The talent pool is very deep and we are excited to see what these invitees can bring to the Combine in Denver this May. Our FOAM combine will take place on May 7th, with CLOTH on May 8th. Please help us extend our support and congratulations for these players as we prepare for Edmonton 2022!!

USA Dodgeball cancels Texas event for anti-LGBTQ+, anti-abortion legislation
USA Dodgeball cancels Texas event in response to anti-LGBTQ+, anti-abortion laws
Los Angeles, CA – USA Dodgeball is increasingly alarmed by the anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-abortion legislation that has been proposed or passed in several states, including Texas.
USA Dodgeball is committed to fostering and growing the sport of dodgeball throughout the country and providing a safe environment for all players. The recent directive from Gov. Greg Abbott to investigate families of trans youth for criminal child abuse goes directly against the organization’s code of ethics. In addition, we believe SB8, the state law banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy and allowing lawsuits against medical service providers, is unconstitutional.
Dallas was set to host the 2022 USA Dodgeball combine May 7 and 8, bringing hundreds of players and thousands of dollars to the city’s hotels and restaurants. Although USA Dodgeball will still hold a regional event in Dallas to support our local players who are fighting for change where they live, we cannot, in good conscience, bring a national event with real economic impact to Texas while these things are happening.
“We strongly denounce any and all legislation that infringes on the basic human rights of our diverse community. We know our members feel passionately about these issues and this is an opportunity for all of us to come together to promote change.” said Jake Mason, USA Dodgeball President. “We hope that other organizations will do the same and that the loss of economic impact, large and small, will push local legislators to speak out against these laws.”
The event, which serves as a try-out for TEAM USA, will now be held In Denver, Colorado at the Courts Sports Complex.
If you are a resident of the state of Texas, we urge you to contact your state senator as well as the governor’s office to voice your opposition to these bills. Here is a template letter, which can be personalized. In addition, our friends at US Quidditch had their DEI committee produce a workshop earlier this year on how to write to your legislators, which can be viewed on YouTube.

LOS ANGELES, CA – USA Dodgeball, the governing body for the sport dodgeball in the country, has announced their first six events of the 2022 Premier Tour
We appreciate everyone’s patience as we figure out what is going on around the country and attempt to plan events. Even though Omicron is still prevalent, we have been able to start securing a few spaces for our first six events of the 2022 USA Dodgeball Premier Tour. All players must be fully vaccinated, per our Vaccine Requirement Policy, and members of USA Dodgeball (see below for details on that if you registered in 2020). Membership for 2022 will open along with event registrations in mid February after we work out all the registration software kinks and ensure everyone’s previous credit codes are generated and sent out. We encourage players to book fully refundable travel arrangements as things could change at any moment due to the ever-changing COVID-19 situation.
UPCOMING EVENTS:
UPDATE: Foam/Cloth event dates and locations ahve been confirmed.
Foam/Cloth Southwest event: March 5, 2022 in Las Vegas, NV

Remainder of season:
As a reminder, all event registrations that were not refunded in 2020 will still count as credit toward future events. We will be working with our registration software, PlayPass, to generate unique coupon codes for each event registration that was canceled due to COVID. These codes will be sent to the emails used to register and can be used at a later date. They will be one time use and can be given or sold to other people if you so desire. Also, the 2020 USA Dodgeball Memberships will be extended through the end of the 2022 season. Therefore, if you registered as a member and were not refunded in 2020, you are all set. If you were not registered in 2020 or had a refund issued, you will have to sign up for a 2022 USA Dodgeball Membership ($25) in order to participate in any USA Dodgeball events or try out for Team USA. Memberships are not transferable. As mentioned previously, we are not offering refunds for 2020 registrations as we are well beyond the refund window with our registration software.
Thank you everyone for your support and understanding as we work to set up the 2022 USA Dodgeball Premier Tour. We will do our best to provide you with the best dodgeball experience yet. Stay safe, get vaccinated and respect each other out in the world.

February 12, 2020
LOS ANGELES, CA – USA Dodgeball, the governing body for dodgeball in the country, has announced the promotion of Brendan Tickner to Executive Director.
Tickner previously held the role of Brand & Marketing Committee Chair, and he was instrumental in the strategy and implementation of social media campaigns, website design, SEO, and community outreach that ultimately resulted in the organization exceeding their 2019 goals. However, his contribution to the growth and success of both USA Dodgeball and the worldwide dodgeball scene has never been isolated to the title in which he was given. Tickner’s promotion, which takes immediate effect, allows him to formally have the opportunity to use his years of insight and experience to effect change and influence decisions as a nonvoting board member on a wider range of initiatives outside those that arise in the Brand & Marketing realm.
“Brendan Tickner has worked tirelessly behind the scenes and has been essential in our growth as an organization. When things get tough, he’s there to keep us moving forward,” the USA Dodgeball eBoard says. “He doesn’t like the attention or glory but deserves to be recognized as we would not be where we are today without him.
”Tickner’s promotion comes in conjunction with a landmark year for USA Dodgeball. Fresh off a sweep on the international stage at the World Dodgeball Championships in Cancun, the organization announced the USA Dodgeball Premier Tour which will take place in 17 different cities throughout the US, and without question, Tickner will be an influential figure in the success of the organization moving forward.

In their inaugural year of hosting competitive dodgeball events, athletes from across the country will travel to their respective regional round 1 events
We are incredibly excited to announce the dates and locations of the first regional rounds of the USA Dodgeball 2020 Premier Tour. The remaining rounds are still in the works and will be released as soon as they are locked in.
Round 1:
3/28/2020 – North 1: Indianapolis, Indiana
• Divisions include: Men’s foam, Men’s cloth Women’s foam, and Women’s cloth
• Future rounds location options: Ft. Wayne, Chicago, Toledo, Grand Rapids

The 2020 season will take place starting in March and concluding by October at the latest. Due to the WDBF World Championships, no rounds — including nationals — will be held Labor Day weekend this year. This season features 4 events per region. Three of those events will include the typical ball types that each region is accustomed to.
There will also be one of those four rounds that is a foam & cloth-only event. For this year, each region’s foam/cloth event will be either round 1 or 2 so combine invites can be sent out in a timely manner. These events will include a men’s and women’s division for each ball type. This will provide the scouting team ample time to review their respective regions to send out combine invites for both foam & cloth.
One of the three “typical” rounds in each region will be a Grand Slam. The Grand Slam is open to any team from any region (Ex: a team from the south could play in all 4 south rounds and each of the 3 additional regional grand slams). The other rounds, including the foam/cloth round, will be exclusive to teams residing in the region.
As of now, Rounds 2-4 details are still in the works but here are the divisions planned (subject to change based on venue capacity):

Team USA brings double gold home for USA Dodgeball at the WDBF Dodgeball World Championships for 2019
Cancun, Mexico
Team USA, in association with USA Dodgeball, the national governing body for the sport of dodgeball in the U.S., dominated with back-to-back Gold medal wins for both the women’s and men’s teams at the 2019 World Dodgeball Championships, hosted by the World Dodgeball Federation, in Cancun, Mexico over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Team USA women returned to defend their title of 2018 World Champions and did not fall short. They went undefeated all tournament with every member showcasing why they made this team, keeping gold for America for another year. Paige Peterson’s clutch plays and game winning hit and catch against Australia in semifinals even earned her the honor of tournament MVP. Captained by veteran athletes Azalea Donche and Bryanna London, the reigning Team USA women’s team defended their Gold title this year against formidable opponent Team Malaysia with a 7-5 win. This is their 4th Gold medal, having previously won in 2014, 2015, and 2018, and is one of the only teams to have medaled at every WDBF World Championships.
This is the 2nd Gold win for Team USA men’s as they fought their way up to finals to face off against defending champions Team Malaysia. Seasoned players Eric Stone and Nate Kreiter served as captains to the 12-player rostered team. The men’s team also trained long and hard and returned eager to snatch gold after a close match with Malaysia last year to take silver. While only losing to Malaysia in the round robin play, they faced off against them again for gold and were able to work as team to adapt their gameplay for a winning result and bring men’s gold back to the United States. We are very proud of all of our athletes for their hard work and determination they put in this year. Thank you to all the other member federations and teams that participated and showcased their skills. We look forward to all continuing to grow the sport together and displaying the immense athleticism, community and excitement this sport has to offer the world.
There were 11 countries able to send men’s squads and 8 countries able to send a women’s squads from all over the world, including Argentina, Norway, Italy, Mexico, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

USA Dodgeball is taking the prominent role in competitive dodgeball across the country
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
Los Angeles, CA
Today, we are excited to announce the establishment of the USA Dodgeball Regional Tournaments beginning in 2020. For the past several years, Elite Dodgeball Inc has been managing and hosting the highest level of competitive dodgeball in the United States. In a meeting of the Elite Dodgeball Board in October 2019 it was decided that the regional tournaments (formally known as Elite [Region] Series) would be handed over to USA Dodgeball to help create a consistent format for each region for each round. The player experience is of the upmost priority for these events moving forward. There are some exciting changes coming for the format and style of these tournaments for the 2020 season and beyond. The newly created USA Dodgeball Events Committee is comprised of those in the dodgeball community who have shown they can not only plan and run a great event, but also be flexible enough to roll with the punches and adjust to the change that is coming.
You’ve asked for it, so we’re delivering. These tournaments will continue to act as the highest level of dodgeball competition in the United States, while also creating a platform for new players to join and learn to love the sport as much as we all do. More details will follow, and we will answer all of your questions, but to quench your thirst a bit, here are some details that we are excited to share now:
• There will continue to be four regions in the United States for competitive dodgeball (East, North, South, and West).
• There will be four tournaments per region each season.
• Seasons will be a couple months longer.
• Three of the four regional tournaments will consist of only teams within that region. One of the four regional tournaments will be open to any team from any region to compete in, giving everyone the opportunity to play against teams from other regions more frequently each year. This means if your team has the desire/means, you could play in your four “home region” tournaments plus an additional three tournaments in other regions before going to Nationals.
–more details to come–
Get excited, because 2020 is going to be the best year yet.
