Dodgeball Leagues
Chances are, the last time you played dodgeball you were in braces.
Thanks to a recent surge in popularity among young adults, there are several leagues in New York City where you can revisit middle school gym class and pelt each other with rubber balls year round all over again. Here’s a look at what’s up next for the leagues across the city.
Finding that most adult leagues in New York City cater to heterosexuals, Big Apple Dodgeball, down in the West Village, was founded to provide an accepting environment for the LGBT community. Naturally, like most leagues, it’s a great way to meet people, and the after-parties following the Monday night games are also well-attended.
The next season is tentatively scheduled for the beginning of February, with sign-up available in January. There are no tryouts, and teams are randomly selected to ensure a mix of playing abilities. Dues cost $100, and include a gym membership to all New York City Parks & Recreation locations. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.
