Malaysia Dodgeball scene may not be as mainstream as soccer, badminton, or even hockey. However, be prepared to be surprised by our Malaysian Dodgeball players’ talent and results in the international scene.
First and foremost, if you would Google dodgeball’s ranking, you’ll find Malaysia to be in the top 3. That’s right, International, Mr. Worldwide buddy!
You might also know that the Malaysia National Dodgeball team was a champion in the Dodgeball World Championship.
What is Dodgeball?
In dodgeball, two teams compete against one other to throw and hit opponents while avoiding getting hit themselves. So all players on opposing teams must be eliminated. You can eliminate by either hitting them with thrown balls, intercepting an opponent’s ball, or persuading an opponent to break the rules, such as leaving the court.
Undoubtedly, this sport is trendy in the United States of America as well as Canada. Which naturally makes these two countries one of the best in the world. BUT, since Malaysia’s squad has beaten the 2 champions before, could this mean that Malaysians have the talent and grit to bring down champions of the world?
Take a look at the World Championship Results Below! Malaysia has been top 3, and we hope to see more stellar performance from the national team!
