DODGEBALL

The idea of the game is simple: 2 x teams of 6 players face each other on a court and throw balls at each other. If a player is struck by a ball, they must leave the court. If a player catches a ball, the thrower must leave the court, but the catching team can have one of their ‘hit’ players brought back on. The winning team is the one who gets all the opposing team off the court.

The game is fast and furious, but it is also full of teamwork, tactics and strategy, depending upon how many balls and how many players each team have in play at any one time. It is a game that anybody can play and it is a great sport for socialising and getting a workout.

5 BALL RULES

We play according to British Dodgeball 5 Ball Rules.

ABOUT US

Cheadle & Gatley Griffins Dodgeball Club were originally a ladies group set up by Life Leisure in October 2016 as part of a “Wish I Tried” incentive in Stockport.

18 months later two of our members qualified as British Dodgeball level 2 coaches and took over running the sessions. This enabled the club to become a self-sufficient and British Dodgeball recognised member club, being funded by the subs that are paid each week on a pay when you play basis.

In September 2018 we successfully launched our junior section, for ages 6 to 16 which has been a real success, led by Coach Jordan Black (Manchester Bees).

Our members are aged 6 upwards and the main focus for our sessions is to have fun and make new friends along the way.

Dodgeball is a great way to get fit and have fun at the same time. There are no limitations on age, fitness or size in this sport, it is truly a sport for all.

We have met some really nice teams along the way, entering tournaments for those who like the more competitive side, who have shown lots of encouragement and support.
