S&S® DODGEBALLS HELP SET GUINNESS WORLD RECORD

NEW YORK CITY – S&S® Worldwide provided the dodgeballs used to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest dodgeball game in history on May 12 at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York City. A total of 712 people from the New York Tri-State area converged at the armory and battled it out in a thrilling free-for-all. The previous record for dodgeball participation was 450.

“An event of this magnitude demands of ball of superior quality and strength, so it’s an honor that our dodgeballs were selected,” said S&S® Co-President Hy Schwartz. “Our adult dodgeballs are designed to go farther and faster than those of our competitors, which is why they’re preferred by leagues throughout the country.”

S&S® armed members of blue and yellow teams with 600 Gator Skin® Official Adult Dodgeballs. In the end, the blue team claimed victory. Ten players from the winning team were selected by raffle and they, along with the last person standing on the yellow team, received new phones from Samsung®, the event sponsor. All participants received scratch cards and commemorate t-shirts. The S&S® dodgeballs were donated to the Boys and Girls Club of Manhattan and Covenant House of New York.

The dodgeballs used are specifically designed for teen and adult dodgeball games and leagues. At 8.3" diameter, they are the largest dodgeballs S&S® carries. Besides a high-density foam core and new proprietary bonding layer for superior performance, they feature an outer surface that virtually eliminates stinging hits.
