Latrobe Valley Dodgeball League is organized by a non-for-profit committee made up from our playing community. This means that every dollar made goes back into the league for continued improvement and benefit to our community as a whole.

Committee Members
|
President:
Andrew Williams "Don't be afraid to make decisions. Don't be afraid to make mistakes." I never thought I'd join the committee for Dodgeball. I had so many ideas that could help the Latrobe Valley Dodgeball League grow as a sport, as a community and make sure that everyone got the chance to express themselves, as it should be. My goal for being on the committee is to give everyone the chance to learn, have fun and be themselves. The friendships that I've developed from LVDL have helped me figure out who I am as a person. |

Vice President:
Shannon Nikodemski "Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts." I wasn't a sporting person, I felt lost and didn't know what I wanted to do until I decided to come to Dodgeball at LVDL. I have met so many amazing people in the LVDL community who I call my friends. Being the first LGBTQIA+ committee member, I hope to help spread the same support in our Dodgeball community for others that I have experienced from the moment I joined! |

Secretary:
Ruby Callaghan "We win or lose as a team." I have always been active and have played various team sports for the last 15years. After discovering Dodgeball i realised i had found my new favourite sport to obsess over. I love the environment of being on a team. All working towards the same goal. Being on the Committee is the same. Our goal is to help grow this league and expose more people to how wonderful the sport can be. |

Treasurer:
Ness Fairburn "Community grows when kindness leads the way." I’ve loved sport my whole life — from over 20 years in Athletics to seven seasons of Dodgeball here at LVDL, plus taking the court at VDL that one time. I joined the committee after being scouted for creating videos for my VDL club. I enjoy supporting community sport and helping it grow! I’m excited to keep our league thriving, welcoming, and full of energy — and I promise to take care of the numbers so well that the only thing getting dodged around here… is balls, not budgets. |

General Committee Member:
Mitch Howell "Someone that never made a mistake, never made anything." I returned to the LVDL Committee to help develop the next generation of leaders in our community. If we want to still have a league in 10 years, we have to build on these foundations now. We have some very dedicated and enthusiastic people in our community and i am very happy to be able to use all the things i learned through helping found and develop our league, to help them grow. |
