About World Dodgeball Federation
The World Dodgeball Federation (WDBF) was established in 2011 as the governing body for the sport of dodgeball internationally. Headquartered in Edmonton, Canada, the main objective of the federation is to develop dodgeball by promoting the sport globally with the principles of unifying educational, cultural, and humanitarian values and focusing on youth development programs.
The WDBF has the largest geographical reach of any dodgeball organization, growing from 8 National Federations to over 79 between 2016 and 2021. The rapid growth is a result of a reorganized governance model that allows members to share expertise in all levels of management.

The WDBF continues to strive to strengthen the bonds of friendship between national federations and the world.
What is Dodgeball?
You might have played it in gym class or at recess, but do you know that it is a highly competitive, internationally recognized sport played around the world in over 80 countries?
The game is simple. To play, you need up to six balls, two teams and a defined space. Players throw the ball at their opponents trying to eliminate them from the game, while defending themselves by blocking and catching. Once a team has had all players eliminated a point is scored. It’s simple to organize, inexpensive to maintain and easy to grasp. This is why it continues to grow in popularity. Anyone can play dodgeball.
