The National Amateur Dodgeball Association promotes the sport and sanctions tournaments throughout the year. And the next one is in Chicago -- well, Schaumburg anyway! On July 23-24, Olympic Park in Schaumburg will host the "largest and final event of the 2003-2004 dodgeball season and features the crowning of Outdoor National Champions."

Youth division matches take place on July 23rd and the adult competition occurs on the 24th. The registration deadline is July 19, so start rounding up you team!
