The Out Box

This week, we visit a new country. I was so charmed by Jakub's passion for dodgeball and how big his dreams are. We touched on the national team, what dodgeball looks like in Czechia, and his participation in the Austrian league. I hope one day we can meet like we said we would in the episode, as I really want to visit Prague again one day.

In this episode, I go back to my roots to hear from Lauryn, who began University Dodgeball New Zealand. As a former university club president myself, it was a joy to hear everything she's been up to, have her ask me questions in return, and connect as two players from opposite sides of the world.

This week I'm back to Alberta after 28 episodes! I'm joined by Jarvis: director by day, and dodgeball player... later in the day. He speaks about how his relatively new club has seen success in national and local competitions. We even speculate on what a modern Dodgeball Movie could look like.

This episode, I hear from Alex about how he started his own dodgeball club and his experiences on the South African national team. We talk about how South Africa has moved to the WDBF and a lot about what the future of dodgeball across the globe might look like.

This episode I heard from Leo, who founded dodgeball in Chile. It was amazing to hear what a success he's had at bringing in people from all over Chile to play this sport. He also covered their trip to Worlds in 2024 and how they're preparing for the upcoming Panamerican Championships in Santiago. A brilliant start to this next batch of episodes.
