Think you’ve still got your dodgeball skills? Or would you get handed a stinging, finger-jamming defeat?

Now’s the time to find out, but you’d better hurry.

There are spots open for eight teams to join Cobb County's first spring co-ed dodgeball league.

“We’re always looking to bring new activities to Cobb to give the public more,” said Brody Whitlock, recreation coordinator with the county’s parks department.

It’s $150 per team of four male and two female dodgeballers. The fee pays for referees, balls and what it takes to put a league together.

A six-on-six showdown of folks age 16 and above will sling middle school memories at each other for 4 hours on a Wednesday night.

That scene of high-level athleticism will repeat seven times from March 8 to May 17 at the Fullers Recreation Center, 3499 Robinson Road in Marietta.

“The first year, you’re trying to get the word out there,” he said. “We’re hoping to catch on.”
