ABOUT
The Metroball Dodgeball Society operates a year-round venue for people to come together, keep active and throw balls at each other. Currently we play on Wednesday nights from 7-9 pm at 755 Pandora Ave. We operate purely on a "drop-in" basis that is first come, first serve. Due to insurance purposes, and really, just because too many people means not enough playing time per person, we cap out at 24 people a night. Members that have confirmed attendence do however, receive priority. For more information on how to obtain a membership, please email metroballdodgeball@gmail.com
We participate in, and have won several local tournaments such as Island Summer Games, VSSC, Westcoast Rec, and The Victoria Dodgeball Championships. We have played in exhibition games, most notably at halftime at the Eves of Destruction Roller Derby against The Zone team in front of 800 people.
The Metroball Dodgeball society exists for the following reasons:
- To promote an active lifestyle and to provide alternative forms of inclusive co-ed recreation for urban residents.
- To provide the only non-profit dodgeball organization in Victoria, to encourage community building through team sports.
- To foster awareness of the importance of health and fitness in young adults.
- To highlight the importance of dodging and building a strong and agile population.
- To provide a safe and fun venue for adults of all skill levels, to come out, have fun, and of course, play dodgeball!

THE ORIGINS OF METROBALL
Nobody really knows the story of how Metroball came to be. It has been passed down from one executive to the next for years. We assume it was forged in the depths of one of earths most active volcanos... Only one thing's for sure... There was a man there, wielding a chainsaw in one hand, and a dodgeball in the other. This man, was known only as "Coach"
