Dodgeball tournament takes over Olympic Park in Schaumburg
Friday's weather may have been brutally hot - but it was still a perfect day for the Dodgeball Days Outdoor Youth National Championships at Olympic Park in Schaumburg.
The kids - students in grades four through eight - played Friday.
Adult teams take the field today, so there's still plenty of dodgeball to watch this weekend.
The tournament is sponsored by the National Amateur Dodgeball Association. For details, visit dodgeballusa.com.
