About Generation Dodgeball
Building community through sport since 2014. Melbourne's premier social sports community dedicated to creating lasting friendships and unforgettable experiences.
Our Story
Generation Dodgeball was founded in 2014 with a simple mission: to build Melbourne's most welcoming and inclusive sports community.
What started as a small dodgeball league has grown into a thriving community of over 150 active participants across multiple sports and locations. We've spent over 11 years creating a space where people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels can come together to stay active, make friends, and have fun.
Our journey began with a passion for dodgeball and a belief that sports should be accessible to everyone. We've worked tirelessly to create programs that balance competitive play with social connection, ensuring that every participant feels valued and included.
Today, Generation Dodgeball offers dodgeball leagues, drop-in sessions, and Kids Academy classes across multiple locations in Melbourne. Our core mission remains the same: building community through sport.
