Minnesota Dodgeball | Twin Cities

For Spring 2025, one court will be designated for a small open gym session, while the other will be reserved for scrimmages and tournament practices for teams preparing to compete in tournaments nationwide.

This season, we will be mixing recreational and advanced players on the open gym court rather than having separate competitive and recreational sides.

For tournament practices, we’ll need players to scrimmage against, so if you're interested in joining, please reach out to Anh or let us know in the comments!
