The Friends of the IDF Recently Rambam hosted the highly anticipated 15th Annual Dodgeball Tournament Champions, and it was nothing short of epic! The excitement reached new heights as students competed for a cause close to their hearts—raising funds for the Friends of the IDF. This thrilling event, played for tzedaka, saw four teams enter the arena, but only one would emerge victorious.
The action-packed Dodgeball, a game created by the late Al Hecht A”H, had the Blue, Green/Yellow, White, and Red teams each stationed in their own corner of the gym, armed with a single ball to start each round. For a nail-biting 90 seconds, players launched balls at their opponents, racking up points based on how many players lasted each round.
This year, the Red claimed the title of champions, and senior Abie Steiner was named the Al Hecht Memorial MVP for his outstanding performance. With students from grades 9 through 12 taking part, this friendly competition is yet another example of how Rambam strives to incorporate tzedakah into the everyday, even within the excitement sports—turning a fun rivalry into a meaningful opportunity to give back.
The Annual 4-Corner Dodgeball Tournament follows in the wake of earlier tournaments this year schoolwide Flagfootball, Volleyball, and Homerun Derby Tournaments. Coming soon the school will be running its Annual 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament and Annual 5 v 5 Soccer Tournament and so more! This tournament reflected Rambam Mesivta’s motto: “A Team for Every Talent. A Club for Every Curiosity.
A Place for Every Person.” Whether on the dodgeball court, in the classroom, or beyond, Rambam consistently fosters an environment where every student can shine, demonstrating that no matter your talent, there’s always a place for you to grow and succeed.
