Minor League Dodgeball

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

Now's your chance to join the Los Angeles Dodgeball Society without risking too much injury. The society's Stay Puft Marshmallow Monday Night league starts April 9 at the Hollywood Rec Center (1122 Cole Avenue). This co-ed league plays with mostly "no-sting" balls. Teams consist of no more than 15 people, each competing for "the sweetest ice cream party ever." Games are at 8 and 9 p.m. Monday nights for nine weeks. Entry fee is $50.

Feeling more adventurous? The Hasselhoff Dodgeball League (played with old school rubber balls the society warns are "less forgiving on the privates") kicks off Wednesday, April 18 with a jam-boree from 8 to 10 p.m. also at the rec center. The season lasts nine weeks and league dues include a "sweet" shirt. Also $50.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
