Brandon Cook
I’m Brandon “The Hulk” Cook. I live in Corvallis, OR where I work as a tile and masonry apprentice. My first real experience with dodgeball was on hot pavement as an elementary school child in P.E. class. I was hit out and while walking to the queue line a stray ball came across my body and broke my right thumb. After that, I avoided the sport whenever possible and tried to get out of playing it.

Brett Batky
Hi, my name is Brett Batky. I live in Bethesda, MD with my wife Christine, and work in Arlington, VA as an accountant. My earliest dodgeball memory was playing on the blacktop during summer camp. I was running around, dodging throws, when a ball got caught between my feet and I fell down hitting my head. A lot of crying and screaming followed because I was terrified of my own blood, but I was right back out there the next day. [ Read More …]

Brett Granfors
I’m Brett Granfors and I work as a print operator in Nassau, NY. Growing up I've always been active with either baseball or softball. First time I had the chance to play dodgeball was in 9th grade gym class. It was great, but only lasted two days because the second day I handed out two bloody noses. We were using volleyballs I may note. That was the last I played until a pick-up league started in 2008 at the Albany armory. [ Read More …]

Ed Prentiss
I'm Ed Prentiss from the small town of Ellington, Connecticut and I have been playing dodgeball since before some of my US teammates were born. In grade school (and today) I was smaller than the other kids but always felt there wasn’t a ball I couldn’t dodge or catch. Back then, my arm could hold it's own too. Nowadays my shoulder says otherwise.

Kevin Pack
Falcon Punch! It’s one the first things most people hear/witness when meeting me on the court and has become synonymous with one’s own impending doom. The catch phrase eventually gave way to the nickname, Captain Falcon.
Though before this name was ever forged, it all began during the first year of college at Oregon State University. [ Read More …]
