Dodgeball? That was something you did in Grade 4 gym class. Or a 2004 comedy starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn.
, the sport is so much more than that.
For one thing, Spitzmacher told CTV Morning Live's Ryan Harding, dodgeball is going to be on display Saturday in Calgary, when the provincial dodgeball championships are played at the Volleydome Gym in the city's northeast."I actually got into dodgeball when I moved to the city," she said. "I didn't really know anyone. I just started when a friend from work's friend got me into it. Now they're all my best friends.
"You go throw balls at people for an hour, and you go out with everybody and you have a lot of comraderie!" About 125 players from Edmonton and Calgary are expected to compete Saturday, with the hope of qualifying for the national dodgeball finals, which take place in Montreal in April.The event is the first of two taking place in Calgary: the western Canadian finals take place in February.
Admission to the provincials is free. The event takes place at the Volleydome Gym, #250-10 Stonehill Place N.E. from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
