Dodgeball for schools & universities

KDA brings introductory dodgeball sessions and clinics to schools, universities and organisations. We also work with people inside those institutions to help create clubs that can keep growing long after the first session.

Why dodgeball

It works in a school hall

Cheap to runNo specialist facility. A badminton or basketball hall and a set of foam balls is the whole requirement.
Fast to teachStudents are playing properly within ten minutes. The rules fit on one page.
Genuinely mixedPlayed three male and three female on court at competition level, so it isn't a sport that quietly excludes half the room.
Low barrierNo height, no build, no prior skill. Students who avoid other sports tend to stay in this one.
A pathway existsWeekly drop-ins, a local league, a tournament that draws teams from three countries, and a national body above it.
What we can do

Ways to work with us

Start at our drop-in

Want to understand dodgeball first? Join one of our regular drop-in sessions to experience how the sport works, meet the community and see how a session is run.

Introductory session or clinic

We can bring dodgeball to your school, university or organisation. KDA provides the equipment, coaching, refereeing and game organisation needed to help the programme run well. Sessions can be held at your venue, although Arena Sukan is our preferred location.

Build a lasting club

We connect with committed people inside the institution and can support a new club for about three months, including one session each week. The goal is to establish its structure, develop its players and help it continue independently.

Organisations we've worked with

JCI · Ongoing

Workplace clinics

JCI is one example of an organisation that brings KDA in to run clinics for its members. Sessions take place about once every six months and typically welcome 30 to 40 participants, showing that the format works just as well for organisations as it does for campuses.
