Circle City Athletics is your proven choice for well-run, high quality, and fun dodgeball leagues in the Indy area!
CCA Dodgeball is a fun and fast-paced co-ed team version of dodgeball. Each team must have a minimum of 12 players. During gameplay, a maximum of eight players are on the court at a time with a minimum of 3 girls playing at any time.
Games are played on indoor basketball courts at Lifetime Fitness in Castleton. We use soft skin dodgeballs because they are easy to grip, throw hard, yet are very soft on impact.

Dodgeball Rules
The game starts with players lining up on opposing baselines with 8 dodgeballs divided in sets of 4 on the mid-court line. On the referee's opening whistle, players race towards the dodgeballs to retrieve them. Players who retrieve the dodgeballs from mid-court must ensure the balls cross back over their own baseline before attempting to eliminate opposing players.
No player may cross the mid-court line in an attempt to eliminate an opposing player until the referee signals that the teams will be permitted to go as far forward as the opposing team's foul line.
Elimination occurs in one of four ways:
1) A player gets hit with a dodgeball thrown by an opposing player before the ball touches the ground, walls, or other players;
2) A throw is caught by an opposing player before the dodgeball touches the ground;
3) A thrower dislodges a ball out of the opposing player's grip;
4) Stepping over the forward-most throwing boundary that's been designated by the referee.
The referee is in charge of calling players out. However, during gameplay, the furious and fast-paced action may occasionally limit the ability of the referee to see every bit of action at all times. Please follow the honor system: If you are hit, whether the referee has seen it or not, you are out!
Each game continues until every player on one of the teams is knocked out.
Matches lasts up to 45 minutes, depending on start time and game speed.
The first team to win 5 games wins the match.
