Major League Dodgeball (MLD) is the premier foam dodgeball league in North America. Our signature events include the Foam Dodgeball Championship (FDC) and the 2V2 Dodgeball Championships. Our mission is to create inherent value for the sport of dodgeball by benefiting players, teams, owners, stakeholders, sponsors, advertisers, and fans alike.
Dodgeball, one of the most popular games in the world, is now a highly competitive and highly entertaining professional sport.
For many, dodgeball was the quintessential game of childhood. The modern adult sport of dodgeball gained widespread momentum following the release of the Dodgeball movie in 2004, inspiring the formation of leagues across North America and around the world. What began as a recreational, social activity soon evolved into a highly competitive sport as players refined their skills and organizations developed structured leagues and tournaments.
Today’s top dodgeball players are elite athletes who display an exceptional combination of speed, agility, power, and reflexes. Spectacular Matrix-like dodges and catlike reactions are commonplace in matches where multiple dodgeballs often travel at speeds exceeding 70 mph. In our opinion, few sports can match dodgeball’s unique combination of intensity, excitement, and entertainment.
Dodgeball is now a major sport…
The competitive sport of dodgeball continues to grow, with leagues, tournaments, and championships throughout North America and around the world. The Dodgeball World Championships, hosted by the World Dodgeball Federation (WDBF), feature national teams from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Austria, Great Britain, Italy, Argentina, and many other countries. (A 2014 World Championship match between the United States and Canada has been viewed more than 46 million times on YouTube.) In the United States, dodgeball has become a featured sport at the NFL’s Pro Bowl, while commercial events such as the House of Highlights Dodgeball Showdown have generated millions of views across social media. The favorite game of childhood has evolved into a fast-paced, highly entertaining, and increasingly marketable sport.
