As a young Patches O'Houlihan once said, "dodgeball is a sport of violence, exclusion, and degradation." Incidentally, it will also soon return to the Philadelphia area in the form of a local qualifier for the 2016 Ultimate Dodgeball Championship.

The twist: Ultimate Dodgeball is played on a trampoline court. Peter LaFleur, eat your heart out.

Sky Zone trampoline parks in Oaks, Levittown, and Glen Mills will host local qualifier rounds beginning on Monday, June 6 at 6 p.m. During those events, local teams of five to eight dodgeballers will duke it out for a chance to win $50,000 at the Las Vegas championship in August.

Team registration for the qualifier is currently open.
