Újpest won the Challenge Day’s contests six times in a row in their category and thus became the most sporty city of the country. This is why we were thrilled to be invited to organize the 2nd Újpest Dodgeball cup on this day.
At the very first primary school dodgeball tournament of the country – held on 29th May 2019 at the gym of the Károlyi István High School – 10 mixed dodgeball teams from the district’s 9 primary schools participated.
Great atmosphere, big noise and exciting fights could be seen on the courts.
At the bronze medal bout, thanks to the wonderful catches, the Károly István Primary School and High School managed to finish at 3rd place against the Szűcs Sándor Primary School.
At the finals, the Megyeri Úti Primary School’s team tried to stop their opponent, who dominated the whole day. They didn’t succeed, so the undefeated Benkő István Református Primary School and High School won the 2nd Újpest Dodgeball Cup and received the challenge cup.
We didn’t have to wait long for the first – and we didn’t yet know, but the last – dodgeball game of 2020. On 6th January, at Kisújszállás, the Kossuth Dodgeball Cup was held for the first time, where teams in two age groups participated.
After fair and exciting games, to many people’s surprise, two 5th class boy teams made it to the finals, where class 5C managed to win in a very close game against 5A’s boy team.
As a bonus, the winners got the chance to play against the teachers’ team, where, although the kids were very persistent, at the end the routine and practice helped the teacher team to win at the countryside’s first Youth Cup.
