Friday Advanced Draft Dodgeball

What do you mean a Draft League ?

Players are grouped into groups based on our state of the art stat machine that processes your answers from your registration including potential captains.

    Captains are then picked: Then captains choose their team by selecting players from each group, counting themselves. Examples: Captain LeBron James couldn’t draft a power forward if you only can pick one power forward (he is a power forward) but Captain Tom Brady (a quarterback) can pick a power forward Captain Tom Brady (still a quarterback) could only draft one quarterback if each team has two quarterbacks.

friday in Downtown Manhattan

Dates: January 17th - February 28th, 7 week season extravaganza.
Time: League matches nightly fall between 7:00-8:30pm. Open Gym is between 6:00 - 7:00pm
Location: Manny Cantor Center, 197 E Broadway

 
 

For Who?: Anyone that has played dodgeball and wanted to try it at maybe 90%. It’s still our special brand of Sandlot Social Sports, wins or loses matter a few extra minutes more then our Super Social Division or Classic Division, but not to the point of breaking Rule One (Don’t be a Jerk). So if this fits you or you’re thinking to yourself I can start swimming in the deeper end, give this a try. And if not that’s ok, some of the League’s coolest people party in Super Social and Classic divisions.

Somewhere down this social road, dodgeball the game started creeping into dodgeball the sport. There was an itch and we probably should’ve definitely get that checked out. But while we wait for our doctors, try some more competitive forms of dodgeball, that’s also still social. How does this work? With our cheesy but simple motto/rule : Don’t be a Jerk. After the games we can head to one of the local bars or you can start your weekend. It is a Friday after all.

So come join NYC’s home for old school rubber dodgeball (with that *ping* ) and social people. If that sounds advertise-y? Our bad, but legit if you’ve seen other sports leagues before coming here, you’ll see what we mean with trying to balance Social and Sport even if this division is advanced. We just want a place where strangers become friends in a city that can be lonely sometimes and obviously the answer is throwing balls at each other and hanging out at a bar after!… And maybe getting really good at dodgeball in the process.

More Details?! Season Format and Rules

Game & Season Format

  • We'll provide t-shirts, make your schedule, and teach you the rules
  • Your Captains draft your teams
  • You'll walk in, and we'll make sure to introduce you around to everyone
  • Each night you'll play 2 twenty-minute matches
  • Not just faceless "us vs them!", you'll actually meet and even play WITH opposing teams too!

Rules in Brief

  • Balls lined up to rush for in the middle.
  • Throw em!
  • Headshots are legal but let’s still practice head safety - keep throws low!
  • Stay in bounds!
  • Out if your throw's caught, or if a throw hits you or knocks a ball out of your hand
  • The ball is live until it hits the ground - so it can be caught off a deflection...or it can hit out more than one person!
  • When out, get in line on the sideline. If a player on your team who's still in makes a catch, whoever's first in line comes back in - up to the number of players who started.
  • Play til one team's dead, rinse and repeat!
  • Your seeding in regular season determines playoff match up (and yes, everyone makes the playoffs)
