Dodgeball

I want to play dodgeball, but I don’t have a team to play on… How can I play???

No need to worry in this case!  You can sign up online as an individual and we’ll put you on a team with other individual sign ups just like yourself!  It’s a great way to meet new people, and enjoy the game of dodgeball all at the same time!!!

I heard that teams go to a bar after their games each week and get discounts… How do I get in on this?

By signing up to play in our leagues, you not only get the enjoyment of playing, but you also get the perks that come along with it.  Dodgeball is one of our most social leagues and after your games each week you will get a discount coupon to use at one of our sponsor bars.  These discounts include 2-for-1 pitchers and deals on food…. Yah, we’re not joking, we take fun VERY seriously.   

My team is new to the game of dodgeball, we are nervous that we are going to be matched up against powerhouse GLOBO GYM in our first season, will this be the case?

No need to fret, our dodgeball league has different skill divisions, so no matter what your teams experience with dodgeball is, we’ll match you up against similar opponents each week!

I see that awesome team shirts are included when I register my team! How many team shirts can I get???

Well, every team can get up to 10 team shirts.  Put down your top 3 color choices and we’ll try and get a color close to what you asked for.  Need more shirts for your fully loaded roster??? No problem, you can purchase any extra shirts after your initial 10 for only $6 a shirt.

I was super scared of dodgeball in elementary school, is it still a terrifying game?

Comeback Sports number one priority is player safety, and although flying balls all around a court can scare even the manliest of men, we ensure that everyone is playing the game in a safe manner.  We primarily use no-sting, tear proof gator skin balls, which don’t hurt nearly as bad as those hard rubber balls you remember from your youth.  Also, head shots are not tolerated.

How long are dodgeball games and how do you win at dodgeball?

Every week your team will play two (2) twenty minute dodgeball games.  You play as much dodgeball as you possibly can within those twenty minutes.  Usually 5-8 matches are played within each twenty minute dodgeball session. The first team to legally eliminate all opposing players will be declared the winner for that match. Whoever wins the most matches in those twenty minutes comes out victorious and a Win is added to their record.

How many dodgeballs are in a game?

We line up 6 balls at the centerline for the start of a dodgeball game.  These balls vary in sizes, to add to the strategy of the game.

How many players are in a game?

Each team starts off with six (6) players.  Two (2) of those six players have to be females (you can have more than 2 females if you wish).  You can never have more than 6 people on the court at a given time and never more than four (4) guys on the court at a given time.

How many players should I have on my team?

Teams are usually made up of 7-10 players.  That’s not to say you can’t have more, but if everyone is looking to maximize their dodgeball experience, you probably would do best around 10 players.

Team Stuff

Can We Purchase Extra Team Shirts?

Comeback will provide team shirts for up to the roster limit. We understand that someone might need an extra shirt. We know that you probably want a different shirt to wear each day of the week! But seriously, Comeback will provide extra team shirts for $6/ shirt!

We are a Returning Team in the League, Do we still get Team Shirts?

Great Question! Returning teams for Kickball, Softball, Dodgeball, and Softball all receive team shirts in their registration.  To keep registration fees low Comeback does not provide team shirts for returning teams in Soccer and Flag Football.

Do You Guys Only Run Leagues? Do You Ever Run any Tournaments?

We pride ourselves in putting on the most awesome events around. Comeback Sports hosts The Northwest Coed Classic-Coed Soccer Tournament each Summer. The event features a beer garden, festival zone, live-music, and oh yea a soccer tournament! Check it Out Here! Comeback Sports is also proud to present several Softball Tournaments, Alki Beach Volleyball Open, The Tournament of Champions Flag Football Championship and as always a Championship Tournament to culminate each and every one of our leagues!

Is There a Deadline to Register for a League?

All Comeback Leagues are first come, first serve. We suggest that you get registered as soon as humanly possible to get your preferred playing time and not miss out on the action. Many leagues will fill up very quickly during our more popular Spring and Fall Seasons!

Team Payment

Individual Cancellations During The Season

Any individual that cancels their participation in a Comeback league after playing in a league game will not be refunded their individual fee. The individual may have their registration applied to a future league, but no refund will be given.

Team Cancellations During The Season

Any team that plays a league game will be responsible for the balance of the league fee. No refund will be given. Team cancellations hurt the league and the other teams in it immensely. We will work with your team to apply your team registration to a future league, but cancellation will not render a refund.

Team Cancellations and Refunds Before the Season…

A team that has confirmed their spot in our league may cancel their participation for a full refund as long as they notify the Comeback Team at least 7 business days prior to the start of their league. If a team cancels less than 7 business days prior to the start their league, the Captain will forego the $50 deposit. If a team fails to attend the first game of the season without giving prior notice this is viewed as a cancellation and that team is subject to a $100 cancellation fee. Full Refund: Less (5%) credit card processing fee.

How Does Team Deposit & Payment Work?

Check Out Our Payment Simplified Page! A $50 deposit confirms your team’s spot in a Comeback League. Your full team balance is due prior to your first game. We offer the ability to split up your team fee among your players online so that they can easily just log in and pay their portion (takes the hassle out of collecting payments). We do suggest doing this at least 2 weeks prior to your league start date so that players have time to register. The team captain can also choose to pay the entire team balance and have players repay them. We accept credit cards and checks. NO CASH is accepting unless dropping off payment at our league office.

Can I pay for a league with Cash?

No. Sorry but we must receive team payment in the form of check or credit card.

Individual Registration

How Do Team Shirts Work for Individual Signups?

Comeback provides team shirts with your individual registration for all sports! Simply include your adult shirt size in the online registration and we will get you looking good for gameday... Shirts are given out on the Comeback Famous Pre-Season night and also out at Week 1 of League Play.

I have a group of friend, but not enough for a whole team… Can we register and still play on the same team?

No problem! For each league experience we have other groups that are in the same situation as you and can easily fill out a complete team.We can definitely place you on the same team as a friend or group of friends. In your registration form there is a spot for you to name 'players to be teamed with'. Simply  make sure to include the names of the players you would like to be placed on the same team as in your registration and have your friends all sign up as individuals! If you have any other questions just send us an email at: [email protected]

How Does Individual Payment Work?

Indy’s make their league registration payment at the time they sign up. No hidden ref fees or extra charges for anything during the season. We make it simple: team shirts, fields, refs, and the endless list of good things are all included in your one time registration. Check Out Our “Payment Simplified Page”!

When and How Do I Find Out What Team I’m On?

Individual signups are notified at least one week prior to the league kickoff. You will be notified via email with all your team’s information!
