School Competitions

We are excited to share more information about our County Schools Championships, before entries open in September. Our ambition for the 2022/2023 academic year is to host 53 school competitions, one in each county with more in areas with high demand. We would love to see you at one of our championship events.

The County Schools Championships are open to children in year 6 but children in younger years can attend at the discretion of the competing school. Teams can have a maximum of 10 players, at the start of a set six players should be on court, with a minimum of two girls on court. Each competition will be run by British Dodgeball staff in association with the listed college, using their Sports Leaders to officiate, and will be run to our Under 11’s rules. Competition arrival will be between 10.30am and 10.45am, with competitions finishing before 4pm (all timings subject to change and dependent on the number of entries at an event). Events will be played to British Dodgeball U11 rules, the quick start rules and full U11s rules provide all the information needed for teams.

AWARDS

A trophy will be presented to winner of each county competition as well as bespoke British Dodgeball Schools Championships medals for the top 3 placed teams in each regional competition. A maximum of 10 medals will be presented to each team at British Dodgeball School Championships. At each competition there will be a certificate awarded to the team that we feel best displays and follows the Dodgeball Code.

ENTRY

Each County Schools Championship event has space for 12 teams to enter, with a £60 entry fee applicable per team entered (not per school entered) which will be invoiced on the entry deadline of the competition entered. By entering a Schools Championship each team will get access to Introduction to School Dodgeball online course for one member of staff.

To enter a County Schools Championship complete and submit the entry form. Once submitted Alice will be in touch via email to confirm your entry. You will receive event day information regarding the competition from Alice via email, with the event schedule being confirmed and sent once the closing date has been reached. Entries will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. If you do not see the competition you wish to enter listed on the entry form, that means it is full. Contact Alice to be placed on a waiting list or if there is enough interest a second competition may be added for the area.

All schools competing in a championship event are required to have a free Education Membership with British Dodgeball.
