Jon (c)
Self appointed captain and Wombats strongman. Originally discovered by Turkish football team Fenerbahce, a tragic trampoline accident during training ended his football career early. As part of his strict training regime, Jon will sit on his front porch waiting for neighbourhood kids to walk by and throw balls at them.
Jem
With a background in meditation and martial arts, Jem takes the unorthodox approach of playing dodgeball blindfolded, stating that sight is an unnecessary distraction. A little known fact is that Jem was Mr. Miyagi’s sensei. Unlike Jem, Mr. Miyagi cannot catch a dodgeball with chopsticks. Although it doesn’t happen very often, look out when Jem enters a trance state.
Ryan
AKA The Assassin. The only dodgeball player ever to throw a ball that has broken the sound barrier. His super human strength in his right arm has been the cause of multiple funerals and health insurance pay outs. Ryan picks up his Chinese take out with a boomerang he throws to a nice little restaurant in Beijing.
Tamas
Homeless at the age of 6, Tamas found salvation with a gypsy circus. Put to work as an acrobat and contortionist, his training developed the skills required to be an elite athlete. Tamas’ abililty to dodge anything has proven his greatest asset in his dodgeball career that has spanned a decade. In the thousands of games that he has played, he is still yet to be hit by a dodgeball.
Thommo
The grandfather in the team, but don’t let his age fool you. Like a vicious pit bull, he will back you into a corner and not let up until he is beaten away with a stick. Thommo spends all weekend on strength and conditioning training on his throwing arm, making it one the most formidable weapons in world dodgeball. Most people are intimidated by Thommo, and with good reason. Although Thommo is yet to produce offspring of his own, his hobby is to go to children’s sports events and yell abuse from the sideline. There are only 2 people in the world who know Thommo’s real name.
Tim
A tactical mastermind, Tim has been given an honorary doctorate based on the Wombats playbook. Perhaps the greatest all rounder in the history of dodgeball, Tim is often found jetsetting across the world giving motivational talks, dodgeball coaching clinics and scouting for fresh talent for the Wombats.
Twitch
Twitch comes from good dodgeball breeding stock. The love child of former Tibetan world champions, Twitch’s pedigree is second to none. Although Twitch originally denied his dodgeball heritage, instead turning to baseball and taking the Houston Astros to the World Series, he has now found his calling and will take his place in the Wombats lineup.
