Description |
Really Rec |
This
is a division where you need to come with an open
mind and a sense of humour. If the majority of
a team is new to Dodgeball or is not overly concerned
about wins and losses, then this is the right
division for them. Teams can learn the sport and
its rules, practice their skills, and move up
to higher divisions in future seasons. Better
players are expected to let up at times and there
should be no disagreements over any plays. Wins
and losses do not count in this league - standings
are based on sportsmanship points given to one
another and from the Games Coordinator. At the
end of the season there will be a Dodgarama for
two weeks that is full of costumes, games, and
fun. The winner of the division is decided on
by vote. Teams vote on the most fun, sportsmanlike,
and outgoing teams.
|
Recreational |
This
division will feature teams that may have some
skilled players, but also many inexperienced players
and the team as a whole is just in it for the
fun. If several of the players are hard throwing
and quite competitive in nature then the team
should move up to a higher level. Teams in this
division must have a “fun first” approach
to every game. In this division, sportsmanship
ratings will have a more direct impact on each
team's standings than in higher divisions.
Note: Teams that register for Recreational but
have had good success in this level will likely
be moved up to a higher division before the season
starts.
|
Recreational Plus |
This
division is for more experienced and successful
teams. Players can throw and dodge with more speed
and accuracy, and the team is looking for more
challenge than the Recreational (starter) level.
Not all players need to be highly skilled; it
is more about the average skill and competitiveness
of the team as a whole.
Note: This is not a super competitive division,
it will just feature teams that are better than
starter level. Teams that register for Recreational
Plus but have had good success in this level will
likely be moved up to a higher division before
the season starts.
|
Intermediate |
This
division is for teams that have more experience
or past success than an average team in Recreational
Plus. Intermediate teams are looking for a good
challenge each night and don’t want to play
weaker teams that will result in a blow out. Most
players on the team have experience playing Dodgeball
and are solid in the fundamentals, while the line-up
also includes a few very strong players.
Note: Teams that register for a lower level (Rec
or Rec Plus) but have had good past success with
the SSC in that level will likely be moved up
to the Intermediate division before the season
starts.
|
| Competitive |
This
division is for teams that consistently play at
a high level and would like to face strong competition
each week. This is the SSC’s highest level
of Dodgeball. Games in this division will be characterized
by the following:
- Experience in SSC Dodgeball leagues
- Harder throwing
- Better catching and dodging
- Female players are comfortable in a game with
hard throwing
- Organized attacks

DIVISION NOTES |
(1)
SSC division offerings are based on the experience and
skill level of the teams - not on their competitive
behaviour. All SSC players are expected to play with
a ‘fun-first, winning second’ attitude regardless
of their division.
(2)
The SSC may move your team up or down a division based
on past results or the quality of other teams that have
registered this season. Seeding for 2-3 weeks is another
option the Club uses to re-align teams into the appropriate
level after registering.
(3)
Because the SSC does not host try-outs, teams/individuals/groups
are expected to read the division descriptions and place
themselves in the most appropriate division. If players
are unsure of which division to register for, they are
welcome to contact the office anytime for advice.
