Dodgeball Federation Australia is excited to announce the expansion of the Australian Dodgeball Premier League, with the inclusion of a New South Wales conference in 2017. 
On the back of the Australian Dodgeroos’ success at the 2015 Asian Championships and 2016 World Cup, the ADPL initially launched its Victorian Conference last year.
Following an outstanding first season, we witnessed a wave of new talent and player depth come through the system. Now, the time is right for NSW to have its own conference, and aid the development and growth of the game across the country. 
The ADPL is sanctioned by the World Dodgeball Association and Asian Dodgeball Federation. The competition is an elite pathway for our high performance programs, and is also utilised to scout talent for the Australian Dodgeroos.
The format of the NSW Conference will have many similarities to the Victorian division.
NSW Conference Structure:
- Inaugural ADPL NSW season to run from July – November, 2017.
- NSW will have a Mixed Division – maximum of 4 male players on court, at any given time.
