Dodgeball

Dec 12th, 2007 | By Bruce Goldfarb | Category: Outdoors, Sports

Every Thursday night at 9 p.m., dozens of aspiring Patches O’Houlihans gather at the basketball court next to Hillcrest Elementary School in Catonsville for a pick-up game of dodgeball.

For two sweaty hours, spontaneously formed teams side up and compete for the distinction of…..well, there is no distinction. Anybody who shows up is welcome to play — at your own risk.

In October, dodgeball moves indoors to the nearby Bloomsbury Field House.

The games are organized by the Baltimore Dodgeball Alliance, which has a core team good enough to go to the national dodgeball championships in Las Vegas in September of 2006. Yes, the nationals. In Las Vegas. Sound familiar?

    It’s been a while so I just wanted to let everyone know Baltimore Dodgeball is alive and strong playing in the Bloomsbury fieldhouse from 9pm-11pm every thursday.There is a one time registration fee of $10 that can be paid at the door any thursday and we’re always looking for new players.

    This Thursday is Halloween dodgeball come in costume and if it’s your first night you only pay $5 (and yes that’s for the full season).There will be music,candy,snacks,drinks(non-alcaholic)and oh yes…DODGEBALL.

    Special prize for best costume!

    Hope to see you there. :-)
