A message about Dodgeball Canada & Dodgeball.LIVE
After a great deal of thought, we have made the difficult decision to step away from our current working relationship with Dodgeball Canada.
This is not something we say lightly.
For nearly a decade, our organizations have grown alongside one another. In many ways, Dodgeball Canada helped shape what Dodgeball.LIVE became, and we are deeply grateful for the support, trust, and opportunities that relationship provided over the years. Together, we helped bring Canadian dodgeball to wider audiences, created memorable broadcasts, highlighted athletes and stories that deserved to be seen, and contributed to what has become a much more visible and connected sport than when we first started.
We are incredibly proud of that.
For a long time, our missions were closely aligned. We shared a belief that the sport deserved better visibility, better storytelling, and better coverage. That alignment led to a lot of meaningful work, and some of the most important moments in our company’s history.
In recent months, it has become clear that the direction Dodgeball.LIVE is working toward, and the direction Dodgeball Canada currently needs from a media and production partner, are no longer as aligned as they once were. This was not for lack of effort. Over the past while, there were many conversations and genuine attempts to find a structure that could preserve the relationship and still serve the community well, including offers from us to produce major events at no cost.
We explored multiple models we believed could still be sustainable for everyone involved, but ultimately, despite those efforts, it became clear that we were no longer building toward the same version of what this partnership needed to be.
That happens sometimes — even in relationships built on good history and mutual respect.
As difficult as it is to say, this means that an era is coming to a close. Producing events like Clubs under the Dodgeball Canada banner has been a major part of our journey, and it is not lost on us what that chapter has meant to our team, and to many of you who have supported us along the way.
At our core, Dodgeball.LIVE still believes deeply in the same mission that started all of this: to grow the sport, to share it with more people, and to make high-quality dodgeball coverage as accessible and sustainable as possible for the community.
That mission has not changed.
We remain committed to finding sustainable ways to bring dodgeball to the world, while continuing to support the athletes, organizers, and communities that make this sport special.
We also want to be clear that the Provincial Sport Organizations and partners who previously benefited from discounted access under the Dodgeball Canada agreement will not be left stranded. We will be reaching out directly to organizations that may be affected so we can discuss new arrangements with anyone interested in continuing to work together.
Finally, we want to sincerely thank everyone at Dodgeball Canada — past and present — who has been part of this chapter with us. There is a lot of history here, and a lot we will always appreciate.
We genuinely hope this is not a forever goodbye.
Sometimes partnerships end not because the work was unimportant, but because both sides are trying to build toward different futures.
And no matter what comes next, we will always be proud of what we built together.
– The Dodgeball.LIVE Team
