Sky Zone Clermont sets family-friendly dodgeball tournament for June 22

Sky Zone Clermont turned its trampoline floor at 2510 S Highway 27 into a one-evening dodgeball stage on June 22, with a family-friendly tournament that ran from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., accepted players ages 5 and up and paid out prizes for first, second and third place. The event cost $20 per jumper, and registration stayed open in person at the Clermont park, a setup that made late decisions possible for parents and casual players who were not lining up through a league calendar.

The format sat squarely between recreation and organized competition. Sky Zone lists Ultimate Dodgeball as one of its core attractions, and the park’s own tickets page says all ages are welcome, with children under 13 unable to be left unattended. That matters here: the tournament was built for supervision, movement and quick brackets, not for the travel-team intensity that often defines more formal dodgeball play. The prize structure gave the night some edge, but the age floor and walk-in sign-up kept it accessible to beginners who may have been stepping onto a dodgeball court for the first time.

That kind of event fits the way Sky Zone Clermont has programmed its space around families. The park also promotes Little Leapers for ages 0-5, Parents’ Night Out for ages 6-15, GLOW for all ages and SkyCamp, underscoring that its calendar is designed to pull in children, teens and adults together. Clermont’s public events calendar shows the park continuing to schedule that kind of family-oriented programming, with Ultimate Dodgeball packaged as high-flying, easy-entry entertainment rather than a closed club sport.

The broader dodgeball landscape has been moving in the same direction. USA Dodgeball says its mission is to promote and develop the sport across the United States in a fun and safe environment that emphasizes fair play and sportsmanship. Its 2026 rules update was written to improve fairness, safety and inclusivity while aligning more closely with the World Dodgeball Federation, whose current rules document is the active guide for sanctioned events. That push for standardization gives even informal tournaments a clearer path if players decide they want more serious local competition later.

Clermont itself is a useful place for that pipeline. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the city’s population at 52,812 on July 1, 2025, up from 43,021 in the 2020 census, and the growth has helped family attractions like Sky Zone find an audience. For kids, parents and casual competitors, a $20, one-night bracket at a trampoline park can be the first real taste of dodgeball beyond pickup play.
