Scales Conservation Fund is calling dodgeball enthusiasts to gather their teams for an exhilarating dodgeball tournament in the name of conservation. “Whether you’re a seasoned dodgeball player or simply seeking an afternoon of friendly competition, this event, on Saturday, April 13, promises fun for all ages and skill levels,” said Amy Acucamp-Clark, organiser of the event.

“Participants will not only showcase their dodgeball prowess but also contribute to the protection of endangered species. The tourney offers various categories to accommodate players of different age groups and skill levels,” she said. The groups are peewees, ages 6-8 years; juniors, ages 8-10 years; youths, ages 11-15 years; and adults, ages 16 and above.

Teams, consisting of six members each, will compete in mixed-gender formations, with a minimum of two females or two males per team. To secure your team’s spot in the tournament, a registration fee of R400 per team applies. Registrations close at midnight on April 12.

“However, rest assured that every penny of this contribution will directly support the conservation efforts championed by the Scales Conservation Fund,” she said. For more information, or to register a team, or for further inquires, contact 078 993 5678 or email info@scales.org.za.
