I often hear quotes from the dodgeball comedy film when inviting others to play, since I first began playing at age 14 in 2001. The comedy film has helped inspire me to create a film about the sport uniting the world, with one team per country. We would use a style inspired by the NES Super Dodgeball video game, with one 8.5 inch rubber ball in play. Would you be interested in being the representative of your country? If so, what country are you from?

 

No matter the ball type or style you play, get a grip, fake a throw, and dodge a ball, here at the dball community for all. https://lemmy.world/c/Dodgeball

I first began playing dodgeball at the age of 14 in 2001 at after school free play events, and the hosts got the inspiration to get the ball rolling from the NES Super Dodgeball video game. At the time, I was completely unaware of any existence of competitive events for the sport, but 12 years later, I was selected to represent my country on the international level, and I've now gained experience with the sport in 7 countries.

I'm ready to return to Ukraine, to help them stay active and healthy through the sport of dodgeball, and to help them practice their English. In 2021 I hosted a few English speaking clubs and dodgeball practices in Odesa, Ukraine. I recently released a free downloadable early access alpha version of a simple 2D video game about dodgeball and idioms, to help people who are learning English, and having proceeds of game sales to create more dodgeball events and English speaking clubs in Ukraine, and more, which you can read more about on this Lemmy post at https://lemmy.world/post/33040433

 

Hello. On the link below, you can download a free early access alpha version of a 2D dodgeball video game, which is about learning or refreshing your memory on idioms. An idiom is a phrase or expression that largely or exclusively carries a figurative or non-literal meaning, rather than making any literal sense.

This version is free to play, but proceeds of the game sales will go to help me host more English speaking clubs and dodgeball events in Ukraine, to help people stay active and healthy in a fun way, and to help Ukrainians practice their English speaking skills.

I’m from the USA, but I was in Ukraine for a few months of this year, seven months in 2021 when I hosted a few English speaking clubs and dodgeball events, and a few months before, and I was glad to have the opportunity to help Ukrainian people in these different ways, even if it might only be something small. I have documents to live and work in the Netherlands which requires me to stay in their country at least six months per year, but I’m ready to return to Ukraine asap if the English game project is successful.
