USA Dodgeball reveals Team USA mixed cloth roster for Bangkok worlds

USA Dodgeball put its Team USA mixed cloth athletes on the board for Bangkok, Thailand, folding the selection into the federation’s wider push toward the 2026 WDBF World Championships. The post framed the group as a finished roster, and it came with an $800 entry fee, a reminder that a national-team run at worlds carries real travel and administrative costs before a single ball is thrown.

The timing matters because the World Dodgeball Federation had already named Bangkok the host city on Jan. 27 for the 11th WDBF World Championships, giving Team USA a fixed destination and a deadline that now sits at the center of its planning. USA Dodgeball then said on May 29 that Team USA rosters for the event would be revealed June 1, and the mixed cloth announcement landed as part of that coordinated rollout. The same stretch also produced a men’s cloth roster reveal, showing that the United States is building across cloth disciplines, not treating mixed cloth as a side note.

What stands out in the mixed cloth post is the construction signal. USA Dodgeball described the group as one built on experience and chemistry, which points to a roster meant to stay organized under pressure rather than chase novelty. In cloth dodgeball, that usually means athletes who can throw hard, absorb pace on defense, and switch cleanly between attack and recovery as the match changes shape. Mixed events add another layer: lineups have to balance roles across club backgrounds and keep communication tight when opponents force quick substitutions and faster reads.

That is why this roster reveal is more than a ceremonial post. It tells the international field that Team USA is entering Bangkok with a formal mixed cloth squad, a disciplined rollout, and a federation that is trying to elevate cloth alongside the foam side of the program. USA Dodgeball’s Team USA, Rosters, World Championships, and WDBF pages reinforce that structure, and the June 1 announcements show the organization treating Bangkok as a full national-team project. The next step is no longer selection. It is turning that roster into a team that can survive the pace of the 11th WDBF Worlds.
