Player Feature | Derik Phan

As our dodgeball club grows and as this amazing sport increases in popularity it is important to reflect on the growth and development of our players we have met over the years.

Derik Phan first started playing at our dodgeball club at 13 years of age and is one of our youngest dodgeballers. This kid has been playing with us for over 3 years and has earnt the nickname “Young Blood” around the courts as he regularly holds his own against our older more experienced players.

2019 sees two BIG debuts for Derik where he will be competing at state and international level. He has been recruited to play in the NSW Dodgeball League representing Sydney Storm where he will be competing against the top dodgeball teams in NSW. In addition to state league, in April this year Derik will also make his debut representing Zany Sports Dodgeball Club at the 2019 Asia Pacific Invitational in Auckland. This tournament attracts the most elite players from across the globe and will feature teams from USA, Malaysia, Singapore, NZ and more!

We are excited to see what the future holds for Derik and are proud to foster his development in this sport.
