Five Denver dodgeball players selected to compete on Team USA for 2024 World Dodgeball Championships

DENVER — Some people know it as a childhood game, others equate it with a movie from 2004, but dodgeball in Denver is part of a growing community and some of those players are heading to a worldwide stage in a few months.

Five Denver players were selected to represent Team USA Dodgeball in the 2024 World Dodgeball Championships in Austria in August.“Worlds is a chance for all the countries to get together in the world and compete in one tournament," Hodge explained, saying the championships happen every two years. “In Austria alone, our women's division is playing 30 different countries ... It's intimidating, but it's such a great experience.

Allie Vizcarrando is another dodgeball player who will be traveling to Austria for the championships. “Any sport, there's a risk for injury, but to me, it's worth it. I have so much fun," said Vizcarrando.“It's going to be expensive, but again, you know, worth it to all of us. We're going to have a great time and hopefully bring back the gold for the USA," Vizcarrando said. “Any bit that anybody can donate to us, it means a lot to us. We're not able to go there, you know, without the help of our family, friends, and all the other people who support us.
