Today marks Dodgeball Ottawa's 5th anniversary! 5 years ago today, we had our first players come to our drop-in night. Although we had been running our drop-in for a few weeks at this point, today was the first day we had people we didn't already know come and play!
Since then, we have expanded from a once a week drop-in night, to a registered not-for-profit organization that runs 4 league nights a week, tournaments, and special events. While although these are all things to be proud of, the most amazing part is the community that has grown around the sport here in Ottawa! We have such a great group of people and could not have been able to grow with all of you.
As President of Dodgeball Ottawa, I would like to thank each and every person who has taken part in our events, helped ref, vollunteered their time, brought beers to the gym, helped teach and learn from each other, and cheered each other on. Without all of your support, I would still be organizing a small scale drop-in with a few of my buddies. You all helped make this real! And I'm so grateful to be part of this community.
Thanks for a great 5 years!
Spencer
