Schaumburg hosts dodgeball championships
When the Schaumburg Park District created the National Amateur Dodgeball Association about a dozen years ago, it was with the idea of bringing players together for a championship tournament. On Saturday, the 2011 season ended in triumph, as teams from all over the Chicago area flooded Olympic Park in Schaumburg and competed for the Adult outdoor title. The youth championships were held Friday.
