Week 6 Winner - De-Commissioners We are a corporate team that decided to get out there and prove to the rest of the office that dodgeball is a fun sport and not a scary one! This is our second season playing dodgeball and we look forward to many more seasons. The team enjoys the challenges thrown at them including the instances where we are short players, but we never give up, we just keep trying to dodge those balls. Ready, set, dodgeball!
Week 5 Winner - Sex Panthers
We know what you’re thinking: whoa, that’s a lot of people for one dodgeball team. Unfortunately, many of our team members have careers that often take them out of the city. Our team is mostly made up of former schoolmates from the Environmental and Conservation Sciences program at the U of A, their close friends, and family members.
We joined the league so we would have a night to hang out and do something fun together. So dodgeball it was! After that, it was full out dedication. We made up our snazzy shirts and cheers and thus were ready to…1, 2, 3, DODGEBALL.
This was the first time playing with ESSC for all of us and we have had an awesome time. Hopefully by the end of the season our fun spirit will pay off with our first win ?

GO SEX PANTHERSSSSSS!!!!
Week 4 Winner - S.O.B.s
The S.O.B.'s (formally known as Ballas) have been playing in the ESSC for about a year now. The team is made up of friends who have known each other for many years and close family. Nearly every one on the team is related to someone else. We all enjoy playing with this league for the skills we learn, the laughs we have, and the chance to meet and play some really fun teams.

Week 3 Winner - F.F.F.B.F.
Formerly known as the Fantastic Flinging Furry Balls of Fury, a ragtag group assembled due to their love of throwing things at people. Before forming in late 2008 F.F.F.B.F.
had used random street corners and pastry shops to enjoy the sport of throwing things at people, to avoid the angry pastry chefs and their rock hard croissants that they inevitably threw it was decided to join the ESSC dodgeball league. The rest is history.

Week 2 Winner - SW Dodgers
After honing their skills in Really Rec for several seasons the SW Dodgers made the leap of faith into the Rec division this season. The result was a 4-0 start and a Lady Bing nomination.
