Hello Dodgeballers!
The 2026 Foam Dodgeball 2v2 Series launches with a Family Day Tournament introducing our newest division of play the Youth Division for athletes 10 to 16 years of age.
This special Family Day Tournament will take place at Canada Games Park in St. Catharines, ON.
The Youth Division provides younger athletes an opportunity to engage in the sport of dodgeball. You will play with other athletes within your age range and have the opportunity to be coached during the event. Youth athletes must list their parent’s email and name and their coach's email and name for contact information when registering (the same coach can be listed for several youth teams and athletes). If you do not have a coach you can select that you would like to be assigned a coach. The schedule and tournament information will be shared with the youth team's coach, parents and athletes when registration has been finalized.
The Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Divisions are open to athletes who are 16+ years of age. These divisions will run similarly to the Foam Dodgeball 2v2 Tournament Series in 2025. All teams will be guaranteed 6 games of play. All games will be 5 minutes long and all teams will be assigned referee timeslots and ball retrieving timeslots to aid in the facilitation of the event.
Players who wish to referee or coach may be eligible for a discounted price of registration. Please indicate your interest and availability when you sign up to play.
