About Dodgeball Australia

Dodgeball Australia (DA) is the peak body for Dodgeball in Australia. Our responsibility is to promote and maintain the growth of Dodgeball across all Australian states and territories. We unify the rules and policies for Dodgeball within Australia in order to promote Dodgeball as a legitimate sport that attracts talented, enthusiastic athletes at social and international level.

With the support of our dedicated team of volunteers and members, we deliver adult and youth development programs, coaching certifications, social activities and world-class tournaments for the benefit of the sport and our members. DA is an official member of the World DodgeBall Federation (WDBF).
