(Jan. 4, 2018) A Coed Adult Dodgeball League will be offered in Ocean Pines this winter.

The league, for women and men ages 18 and older, is now accepting groups of at least six people for its foam-ball throw-downs that will happen every Wednesday night at the Ocean Pines Community Center starting Wednesday, Jan. 17 at 6:30 p.m.

“The best part about it is we don’t use the big red ball anymore. Come check us out; it’s a blast,” said Ocean Pines Recreation and Parks Manager Debbie Donahue.

Sign up as an individual or ‘free agent’ for teams in need of additional players or assemble a team. League rules require teams to have a minimum of six players, including two females, on the court at all times and up to 15 players on the team’s roster.

Donahue said those who do not have a team but wish to play should attend the Wednesday, Jan. 10 pre-season meeting at 7 p.m. the Community Center, where they will be partnered with a team or other individuals who are looking to compete.

The season consists of eight weeks of play at the Community Center, located at 235 Ocean Parkway in Ocean Pines. Championship games will be played on the eighth week.

Registration, which is open now through Jan. 10, costs $300 per team. To register, contact the OPA Recreation and Parks Department at 410-641-7052.
