You probably remember the movie, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller.  It was a rather silly movie about a couple of misfits entering a dodgeball tournament to save their local gym from being taken over by a corporate fitness chain.

Well, it turns out, that game you used to play in gym class, that you either hated, or absolutely loved, (depending on how good you were... or weren't), has gained a resurgence in popularity.  In fact, dodgeball tournaments are popping up all over the country.  And you can participate in one coming to Texarkana in a couple of weeks.

The Sportsplex by HealthCARE Express and Xcelerate Athletix in Texarkana are partnering to present a Dodgeball Tournament open to teams or individuals.

The tournament will be held on January 28th starting at 11 am. Players may enter individually with a $20 entry fee, or a team can enter for $100. Teams will compete to win a cash prize! All team members must be 18 years or older to enter, and will be eligible for exclusive, event only, no enrollment fee pricing to The Sportsplex (valued at $75).

This event will be open to the public, and if you just want to see what all the hubbub is about, spectators are welcome, and there is no admission fee.  There will be food trucks on site, as well as Raising Canes providing lemonade. If you'd like more information, contact Garrett Atwood at (903) 838-4697 or garrett.atwood@hcesportsplex.com.

XLR8 is located at The Sportsplex by HealthCARE Express at 5610 Richmond Road, Texarkana, Texas 75503.
