The National Collegiate Dodgeball Association’s biggest event every season is the National Tournament. This year’s Nationals will be held at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Nationals may still be three months away, but I have had the opportunity to talk with Nick Johnson, the Director of Nationals, and he has given some insight to what he expects to be the best Nationals in the NCDA history.
I’ll be working with Nick to present some preview post periodically the next few months, giving some interesting information about this year’s Nationals in each post. So here is the “Nationals 2015 Preview #1”: Continue reading “Nationals 2015 Preview #1”

Captains, please get your All Stars together. Please submit 4 players by April 1st.
Please choose 4 players that best represent your team. (I’d recommend having your club perform a preferential vote)
True All Stars are welcome, these are the male AND female dodgeballers that are the best representatives of your team, in whatever way you want to represent that (competitive, great attitude, leadership, trick shot master, etc).
The NCDA is a coed League: do not skip out on the Lady Dodgeballers just because they also have their own Ladies game. If they deserve it they would be in both games. In that same light, do not leave out a player because you don’t want them to get hurt, or too tired from an extra 30 minutes of play. This is not in the Spirit of the Game! This is fun!

Good People,

If you need any further incentive to help out, here’s a little lowdown on what we are planning for this year: Continue reading “Staff and Officials for Nationals 2014”
