ZogSports — a social, co-ed, charity-focused sports club – has officially kicked off registration for its spring activities, opening its leagues to thousands of Brooklynites to meet for some friendly competition and socializing at post-game happy hours.

Having offered Kickball and Touch Football in the fall and Dodgeball (Park Slope & Williamsburg) and Touch Football in the winter, this Spring, ZogSports will invite Brooklynites to play more Dodgeball in Park Slope and Touch Football Downtown

Early Registration: through February 15. Late Registration February 9-22. Most leagues run from mid-late March through June. The games take place in gyms at local public schools. For more information or to register, click here. A percentage of the proceeds goes to charity ($355K organization-wide, so far).

I stumbed across this funny piece in a local Montana newspaper, about the staff’s plight in maintaining a dodgeball team to continuously get hammered in weekly games. 

Here is a funny excerpt:

“The bitterness has infected our office, as staffers who fail to show up and subject themselves to this weekly embarrassment like the rest of us are interrogated the next morning as to their whereabouts. Such excuses as a sick pet or a sleeping child are obviously transparent. And even if the excuses were true, they’re not good enough. A commitment to the Beacon Blitz transcends the obligations of family.”

Definitely worth a read. Actually, check out the whole site www.FlatheadBeacon.com. There’s some interesting stuff. I found a story about a homophobic prank gone wrong between two Republican buddies and an ad for a public service announcement about how if you do meth you’ll end up losing your virginity in a dirty bathroom in Montana, presumably.

Don’t do meth, kids. Drugs are bad.

Make that drunken summer dodgeball with a large, inflated exercise ball that smells bad (probably because it is subjected to ass on a regular basis). This is an awesome display of grown ups having fun.

I think he says their team name is “The Wall Street Cockbrokers”. Hilarious.

On December 8, the 1st Annual Reality Castaways Dodgeball Tournament will take place in Long Island.

More than 45 former contestants from the hit CBS reality show Survivor will come together to play dodgeball and raise funds benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. The event is hosted in conjunction with Reality 4 Diabetes and was put together by Cook Islands contestants Billy Garcia and Cristina Coria.

Some of the castaways who will be ducking, dipping and diving their way through the tournament include Rupert Boneham, Big Tom Buchanan, and Lex van den Berhe from Survivor: All Stars.

You can read more at BuddyTV.

After you have devoured your NFL football, turkey and pumpkin pie (and if you live in San Francisco) head over to Dolores Park’s tennis courts (near 18th and Church St.) starting at 9:00pm. Click here for more information.

The only catch is you have to stay awake after you eat long enough to digest, sober up and get yourself there.

So it looks like Dodge — the well known brand of car made by Chrysler — in conjunction with Stride Gum, is finally having some fun in the branding department with dodgeball.

Stride Gum is giving away the chance to win a Dodge Caliber. And it’s so fun and easy. Jusy play their quick little online game of one-on-one dodgeball (you versus the “computer”), then enter to win. The only catch is it’s only open to “legal residents of the 50 U.S. & District of Columbia 17+ years of age”.
