Remember dodgeball in school?

Hi, I’m Martin — and this all started because I missed the thrill of throwing foam balls at strangers (nicely, of course).

Like most of us, I hadn’t played dodgeball since school. But while living abroad, I stumbled into a local group — and it was a blast. Fast-paced, welcoming, a little chaotic, and full of laughter. After every session, I left grinning.

Back in Groningen, I wondered: why doesn’t this exist here?

So, I bought foam balls, rented a gym, and invited a bunch of friends. It was messy, unstructured, and instantly fun. Gron’s Dodgeball was born.

Now we play every week with a growing community of students, locals, and internationals — all here to move, laugh, and feel part of something.

Super fit or slightly rusty — everyone’s welcome!

Hope to see you on the court.
