During the Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2024, Dodgeball Alberta voted in two new members onto our board!
Please welcome Kim Fehr who has become the new Director of Sport and Player Development!
Kim started playing rubber dodgeball in 2007 and eventually created No Balls, Edmontons first all women's dodgeball team. No Balls was league champions for numerous years following their first season. Female empowerment in dodgeball is the heart of her focus and will take any opportunity to encourage women to lean in! She was initially drawn to dodgeball as a sport but ended up finding a community of friends and fantastic teammates.
She has organized two charity corporate dodgeball tournaments and lead her corporate challenge foam dodgeball teams to victory 3 years in a row. She loves bringing people together and if she is in a team, chances are she is the captain.
She has been supporting Dodgeball Edmonton since their inception. After a few years of resistance she finally committed to playing WDBF foam competitively. In 2022 with the support of her co-captains, she created the Edmonton Aurora Women's Dodgeball Team. This team went from a group of fairly new dodgeballers to winning Silver at Alberta Provincials in 2024!
And please welcome Rachel Wong who has become the new Director of Records!
Rachel has been playing some form of organized dodgeball since 2009 and loves seeing the constant growth of the community and the sport for the past 15 years. The 2024 Canadian National Championship will be her 5th national appearance.
When not on the court, she can be found on the golf course, traveling, lifting weights, or at the hot yoga studio.
We also want to take this opportunity to thank the amazing work from our outgoing directors who have put so much effort in to keep Dodgeball Alberta growing. Bryce Paradis has so much passion for the sport of dodgeball and its growth and was integral in getting the Edmonton Youth Dodgeball League off the ground this past year. Melody Zawalak has spent countless hours working on the administrative side and running hundreds of errands to make sure everything ran smoothly. Thank you both for everything you have put into this community and this board.
