The official website of Hungary Dodgeball.
The European Dodgeball Federation has modified the dates of the upcoming European Dodgeball events below due to the ensuing situation. All the tournaments will be held a year late according to the current decisions.
If we weren’t in the situation in which we are, we would be having a great training session tonight and would be preparing for our next tournament due in two weeks. But regardless of how things have turned out, we weren’t idling around and took a step forward, leaving cones & tape behind: we now have a painted court on our Budapest Pirates headquarters.
How did it turn out? Quite pretty from a distance. It was a lot of work, the phases of which you can see below. No doubt it will turn out perfect next time.
We hope you’ll be able to try it out as soon as possible!
Dodgeball has always been a staple of PE classes, a joyful game for children. But the now widely known sport known as Dodgeball played by adults is much more than spontaneously throwing balls around.

Effective as of 00:00, March 16th 2020, we have suspended all Hungary Dodgeball cup series, tournaments and trainings until further notice – in accordance with the 40/2020. (III. 11.) directive of the Hungarian Government – in order to prevent and hinder the further escalation of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
The Central European Championships were held in Lausanne last weekend, where, for the first time in the sport’s history, the Hungarian team has taken part as well, advancing with a remarkable 2nd place from their qualifiers.

In the quarter-finals we played against the World and European Champion Austria, and, against the odds, we played a very close match with the team.
The first two sets went according to expectations (0-4), but then something happened and the real battle started. The Hungarian National team did not only broke even, but seven and a half minutes before the end took the lead for 12-10.
The world’s best team, for the first time during the tournament, had to request a timeout to get their ducks in a row and they succeeded. There was no big sensation at the end, Austria turned over the match with 16-12 and they kept up their momentum for the rest of the games too. They beat the Italians in the semi-finals (18-14) and the Czech team in the finals (18-12).
The Hungarian Dodgeball team finished at 6th place in the end.
We did everything we could to prepare with two trainings a week and a visit to Zagreb, but the whims of Fate have overturned the scrips. We are here, albeit with diminished numbers, and will fight for our teammates stuck at home.
After the opening, in order to get familiar with the courts, we played a scrimmage against The Netherlands, which we won 16-12.
In our first match, we tied 13-13 against Switzerland. We had a rough start, but managed to catch up to our hosts.
In our second qualifier match we faced Italy, who placed 5th during the latest European Championships.
Nagyon szoros szettekel végül 10-18-as vereséget szenvedtünk. A meglepetés ugyan elmaradt, de csak néhány labdán múlt.
A nap utolsó találkozóján Ausztria 3. csapata ellen, már a továbbjutásért léptünk pályára. Nem volt szép meccs, de fáradtan is hoztuk a kötelezőt. 16-10.
Ezzel hatodikként jutottunk a CEC 2020 legjobb nyolc csapata közé. Vasárnap 9.50-kor a negyeddöntőben az osztrákok második csapatával játszunk.
Köszönjük a helyszíni szurkolást a Genfből érkező magyaroknak.
We faced the Croatian Dodgeball teams over the weekend in Zagreb. Three games after a 5.5 hour long journey did not seem like a simple undertaking. And they really weren’t! Thanks for having us!
Megtörtént a CEC 2020 sorsolása, most már azt is tudjuk kikkel találkozunk február végén Svájcban a csoportkör során. Vegyes csapatunk többek között az Európa-bajnok Ausztriával, míg a férfiak Olaszországgal kerültek egy csoportba.
Pontosan egy hónap múlva február 29-én kezdődik Lausanne-ban a Central European Championship, melyen először a sportág történetében a Magyar Kidobós Csapat is részt vesz.
Kövessétek figyelemmel a felkészülésünket és szurkoljatok majd nekünk. Hajrá Magyarok!
