Who we are

The Australian Dodgeball Federation (ADF) is the peak body of Dodgeball in Australia, that exists to promote Dodgeball as a legitimate sport that will attract talented, enthusiastic athletes at the social and international levels.

 

With the assistance of our dedicated team of volunteers and members, we will curate adult and youth development programs, coaching certifications, social activities and world-class tournaments for the benefit of the sport and our members.

 

The ADF is an official member of the World Dodgeball Federation (WDBF). The WDBF is the peak international body which managed and develops Dodgeball globally since its inauguration in 2012.

 

The ADF has been represented at the WDBF World Championships by both Men’s and Women’s teams since 2013.
