UWS – NCDA

Rosen Bowl III Preview

On Saturday, September 19 the UW-Stout Dodgeball Club is hosting their third home tournament in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Recreation Complex. The building’s address is:

712 South Broadway Street
Menomonie, WI 54751

The Bluedevils will host the Blugolds in both scrimmage matches and each club’s first ranked match of the 2026-27 school year. Both teams are structured similarly being comprised mostly of rookies looking to their experienced club leaders for guidance. Some members of the newly formed UW-Stevens Point Dodgeball Club will also attend and participate in scrimmage matches.

For those unable to attend in person, matches will be streamed and recorded on the Bluedevil Dodgeball Club’s YouTube channel.

The schedule can be viewed below.

Cue 1 @ 11 am- UWS vs. UWEC (Scrimmage)

Cue 2 @ 12:15 pm- Mixed 1 vs. Mixed 2 (Scrimmage) | UWEC vs. Mixed 3 (Women’s Scrimmage)

Cue 3 @ 1:30 pm- UWS vs. UWEC (Official Match)

UW-Stout

This year has so far been a successful recruiting season for the Bluedevils. Stout’s rookies will be leaning on the veteran leadership of players like Angel Lucero, Tyler Mathison, and Kaden Brede. Coach Jacob will be looking to get his rookies some tournament experience at home before the season kicks into full gear in October. If this year’s rookie class is anything like last year’s, Stout will have some players in contention for the All Region Rookie list.

The Bluedevils will be hoping to repeat their successes of the Rosen Bowl II where they outpaced the Blugolds and controlled momentum for nearly the entire event.

UW-Eau Claire

Eau Claire too has done well with recruitment. The Blugolds are expecting to bring a full 12 to a tournament for the first time in club history. The relatively short drive is the perfect opportunity for this young squad to get experience.

It was only late last fall that the Blugolds began to find their team’s on-court identity. With over half of the roster being rookies, the team will be leaning on the experience of Cleo Moen, Kaitlynn Moore, and Jason Bleskan, to name a few. Several players were able to gain some experience in the National Dodgeball Association (NDA) format at the Tim Ebert Memorial Scholarship Tournament last weekend.

Central Region Preview 2026-2027

It’s time to dust off our jerseys as we approach the start of the 2026-27 NCDA season! The central region is excited to welcome back its many players and teams from a well deserved summer break as well as introduce those trying to break into the league. Lots of exciting things happened over the course of last season: First ever Central Region cup, two-time consolation bracket winners (UWP), Iowa’s first official season, and so much more! It will be exciting to see what happens next in the Central region, but for now, let’s take a look at who’s returning.

2026 All Central Region Conference

We celebrate the conclusion of the 2025-2026 season by recognizing and congratulating the individual players who put in the effort to make it to the All Central Region team. The teams that make up the central region are the following: University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Illinois-Urbana Champagne, University of Wisconsin-Platteville, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, University of Iowa, and University of Wisconsin-Stout. The players that make this team are voted in by their peers, and thank you to those who helped make this post possible. Let’s take a look at what they have to say.

Central Region 2026 Season Recap

Compared to previous seasons, the Central region made leaps and bounds in terms of progress and growth. Not only did rookie team Iowa host their first official tournament, they also sent ambassadors to this years national tournament in Athens, OH, AND they hosted the first ever Central Region Cup. The number of teams currently in the Central region–six official and four prospective–makes them the second largest region in the league, right behind the Ohio region with eight teams.

Central Mid-Season Recap

We reach a breathing point of the season, so we can finally see what’s been accomplished thus far. Fun games and intense games go hand-in-hand with the growing women’s league as well as the brand new tournaments and rookie squads. The central region has done quite a bit of growing since last year. UNL still sits at the top with UIUC not far behind, UWS and UWP fight for their spots, and Iowa and UWEC dip their toes into the waters for their first official season.

Rosen Bowl II Recap

Overview

November 22, 2025 was a big day for the UW-Stout and UW-Eau Claire dodgeball clubs. Stout won its first match in club history, followed it up with another, and successfully held its second home tournament. Eau Claire officially joined the NCDA after a few years of trial matches. Needless to say, the coaches and players on each team were thrilled to hold what may be the birth of a new rivalry as Eau Claire and Menominee are a mere 30-minutes apart.

The matches can be viewed on UW-Stout’s YouTube channel here and here.

Rosen Bowl II Preview

This tournament, being hosted on the 22nd of November, 2025, will be a double header between UW-Stout and UW-Eau Claire at UW-Stout (UWEC and UWS respectively). Both teams will have a relatively short reprise from the tournament setting as both teams attended the Pioneer Classic VI just two weeks prior but were unable to play each other. Below is the schedule for the day and a brief preview of each team.

Pioneer Classic VI Recap

November 8th, 2025, UW-Platteville (UWP) hosted the sixth iteration of their Pioneer Classic tournament. It was cold and raining, but it was still a great day for dodgeball. A squad from every central region team except Iowa made their way to Platteville, and UWP invited their Radio Club to commentate again to help reach a broader audience. Below is a reminder of the day’s schedule, so let’s take a look at how each team did! All photos included are credited to Reagan Bucholtz.

Central Region Preview 2025-2026

The Central Region is shaping up to be one of the most exciting landscapes in college dodgeball. Illinois is quickly rising into contention, signaling a shift in power as fellow Big Ten program Nebraska-Lincoln comes down from its reign of dominance. With several prospective schools showing interest and momentum building across the board, the region is expanding at a rapid pace—rivaling even the South as the fastest-growing hotspot in the league.
