Why Dodgeball is the Best Team Sport in Groningen
Most team sports in Groningen require you to join a club, attend tryouts, buy equipment, and commit to a full season. Dodgeball at Gron's is different. You buy credits, pick a session, and show up. That's it. No subscriptions, no contracts, no gear — we provide everything.
What makes dodgeball unique as a team sport is the constant rotation of teams. Every few rounds, teams are reshuffled. This means you play with — and against — everyone in the room. It is one of the fastest ways to build a social circle through sport. Many of our regular players have formed genuine friendships that extend far beyond the sports hall.
Safe & Inclusive
Soft foam balls, clear rules, and a welcoming atmosphere. Dodgeball is a sport where everyone belongs.
Flexible Schedule
No fixed training times or mandatory attendance. Play once a week, once a month, or every single session — it's up to you.
Healthy Competition
Games are competitive enough to get your adrenaline going, but relaxed enough that winning isn't everything.
Instant Fun
No weeks of drills before you get to play. From your very first session, you are in the game — throwing, dodging, and laughing.
Team Sport Alternatives in Groningen
Groningen offers plenty of team sports: football, hockey, volleyball, basketball, korfball, and more. Most of these are great options — but they come with a commitment. You typically need to join a team at the start of a season, attend weekly training, and play in fixed competitions. For many people, especially expats, students, or busy professionals, that level of commitment is hard to maintain.
Dodgeball at Gron's fills a gap. It gives you the team sport experience — the energy, the competition, the camaraderie — without the obligations. You play when you want, with whoever shows up, and every session is a complete experience on its own.
Perfect for Expats & Students
Groningen is a university city with a large international community. Dodgeball is one of the easiest ways for expats and students to meet people and stay active. Sessions are in English, teams change constantly, and the community is welcoming by nature. Whether you just moved to the city or have lived here for years, you will feel at home from day one.
