At Champion Freight we love our sport and proudly sponsor a diverse variety of competitions and teams across the country, ranging from jet boat and sprint car racing, to rugby league. We're also proud sponsors of the New Zealand Dodgeball Association (NZDBA), an organisation that provides opportunities for local players to tour the world playing the game they love. Its international team, The Dodge Blacks, is an uniting blend of New Zealand’s most talented dodgeball players, traveling extensively throughout New Zealand, Australia and South Asia in the last few years.

Most recently, The Dodge Blacks participated in the ADF 2014 Singapore International Dodgeball Championships which took place from the 23rd to 25th of May. Amidst a large field of international teams, we're delighted to report the NZ Dodgeblacks placed second! Way to go!
