School Competitions

We are excited to announce that entries into our Regional Schools Championships are now open. Our ambition for the 2021/2022 academic year is to host 43 school competitions, one in each Active Partnership Area across England, and we would love to see you at one of our championship events.

The Regional 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. Each Regional Schools Championship event has space for 12 teams to enter, with a £50 entry fee applicable per team entered (not per school entered) which will be invoiced on the entry deadline of the competition entered.

Please note spectators are currently not permitted at school events. This will be monitored and updated as restrictions change. If you have any questions please email [email protected]

TIMINGS

Competition arrival will be between 10.30am and 10.45am, with competitions finishing at 4pm (all timings subject to change and dependent on the number of entries at an event).

AWARDS

A trophy will be presented to winner of each regional competition as well as 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 we will also award a Sportsmanship trophy to the team that we feel best displays and follows the Dodgeball Code.
