Dodgeball shakes All Saints’ Gym

KAPAA — The walls of the All Saints’ Gym resonated from the hundreds of dodgeballs ricocheting, punctuated with an occasional whistle blast at the ninth annual Fun In Fellowship Dodgeball Tournament.

Wrapping up Saturday evening with a series of playoff games, the tournament attracted dodgeball enthusiasts from around the island as well as several teams of visitors.

“We were really happy to have players return from New York, Las Vegas, and California,” said Sybil Nishioka, a tournament coordinator. “We had a new team from Virginia, the Wet Willies, who won best sportsmanship in the youth division.”

Despite being handicapped by an inaugural futsol tournament just several weeks ahead of the dodgeball tournament, and the gym having its floors worked on which limited practice, the number of teams forced the tournament to expand to two days.

Talk is already underway about next year’s tournament which will be the 10th year since being inaugurated by the Fun in Fellowship group at the All Saints’ Church.
