League Details

 

How Does It Work?

It's 6 on 6 co-ed, but a team is allowed to play with 4 to reduce forfeits. When you have 6 on the court, you must have at least 2 women. (If you have only 4 players, at least 1 must be a woman.) Each "match" is round-robin, 4 games against 2 opponents.

 

What's the Cost and What's Included?

Regular registration closes on September 29th, or earlier if the league sells out.  Regular league fees are $700 for a team of 12 players ($35 for each additional player over 12 - no limit to number of players on your roster) and $70 for individuals. ZogSportsDC donates a percentage of our profit to charity.


Fee includes:

  • 6 regular season games
  • A heart-wrenching single elimination playoff tournament (50% of teams qualify)
  • Gym fees
  • Referee
  • One t-shirt per person on the roster
  • Equipment
  • "Prize Money" from our sponsors donated to the winning team's charity of choice
  • League administration
  • Organized Happy Hours at local bars after the games

 

When Does It Start and When Are the Games?

The league will begin October 5th.  We play Tuesday-Thursday (1 game/week).  All teams will play their games on a mix of nights and times.  Your division does not determine which day you play.  Games are from 7:00-10:00pm.

  

Where Are We Playing? 

Games will take place at the following gyms.  Since the amount of gym space we have at each location varies, we try and give all teams an even amount of games at each location based on the permitted time we receive.

  •  Francis-Stevens Middle School (2425 N St NW)
  •  Jefferson Middle School (801 7th St SW)

 

Please note that game times, location, and dates mentioned above are a very good guideline, but may change slightly.

What Are the Rules? 

This is a fun recreational league. So we want everyone to play, stay involved and stay safe. The key rules are:

  • 6 on 6, 4 men and 2 women (minimum) to start. Teams may play as many as 6 women at a time
  • It's just like you remember it. A player is out when hit by a live ball, throws a ball which is caught, crosses the center line, is forced out-of-bounds avoiding a throw or is called out for a head shot
  • Players can re-enter the game after a teammate catches a live ball thrown by the opponent
  • Games are 7 minutes with a lightning round starting at 6 1/2 minutes
  • We will use special dodgeballs that really do not hurt when they hit you

 

What Are the Levels of Play?
  • Players Division - Think you're a jock? This division will be competitive, but still fun.
  • Casual Division - Played before? Not a bad athlete? This is the happy middle ground.
  • Extremely Casual Division - This is the pure fun division. It's for you if you're looking more for the social than the competition or consider yourself a beginner at the organized game.

 

ZogSportsDC will try to accommodate all team and individual player requests for Division, but cannot guarantee all requests. We will not place a team or player more than 1 division (above or below) their original request.
