Fast. Fierce. Unstoppable
The American Dodgeball League is built on three defining qualities: fast, 5 vs 5, and unstoppable.
The game is fast, demanding speed, reflexes, and precision from every player. It is played 5 against 5, where teamwork, coordination, and strategy decide who dominates the court. And it is unstoppable, delivering relentless energy, high-stakes drama, and nonstop action that keeps both players and fans on the edge of their seats. This is not the dodgeball of the playground. This is professional, structured, and fiercely competitive. We are here to set a new standard in sports entertainment and show the world exactly what dodgeball can be.

We are committed to delivering fast-paced and high-quality gameplay, building opportunities for team ownership, and creating a league structure that stands alongside other major sports organizations. Our goal is to showcase the thrill of 5 vs 5 dodgeball, expand nationwide and internationally, and establish a legacy of entertainment, integrity, and opportunity through the sport we love.
