While we want to support the development of young dodgeball players by teaching skills and building confidence, we also want to give them the opportunity to compete in official competitions. We are starting what we hope will be a yearly Junior Dodgeball Competition called the Spring Fling for children aged 5-13 (up to Year 9).
We Are Returning 15-16 November 2025
Hosted by Dodgeball For All and Proudly Supported by Henderson-Massey Local Board
Date: Saturday 16th November, 2024
Time: 9am-4pm (Times TBC, depending on number of teams)
Location: Te Atatū Peninsula Community Hub
Cost: $10 Per Individual
Divisions: We are aiming to have the following divisions. Children can play in an older division, but not younger.
Intermediate - Years 6-8
Junior - Years 3-5
Tykes - Years 2 and under (only if we have enough in this group, otherwise they will play in Junior)
Girls only - We will try to create 2-3 teams, prioritising keeping players from the same sessions together, though we may have a wider age range for this.
Teams: We will work with each of the current Junior Dodgeball sessions to create teams, which we have given club names:
Pakuranga Pukeko
Onehunga Orcs
Te Atatu Taniwha
Peninsula Penguins.
If you sign up for one of these we will work to sort you out. However, we are happy to have teams sign up on their own, but please liaise with us asap so we know what numbers to expect.
Rules & Format: We will be playing 6v6 games (we may reduce this to 5v5 to allow for more teams) with 7 inch foam balls, following the general rules of Dodgeball as set out by the WDBF. The Junior Dodgeball format has the following exceptions:
Games will be played on Badminton courts. Juniors and Intermediate divisions will play with the outside lines and tykes will play with the inside lines.
Limited spaces available. We are in a bit of a short deadline to get a shirt order in on time, so we need shirt information by Friday 18th October at noon. We can accomodate children after that time, but we will be unable to order them a shirt (we have ordered a few that can be loaned out on the day, however, and in the future we will put more orders in). An absolute deadline for entries will be one week in advance, Friday 8th November at 11:59pm.
ENTRIES CLOSED - MORE INFORMATION AVAILABLE SOON!
