Team Ontario

Dodgeball Ontario is proud to announce the formation of Team Ontario, representing our province at Dodgeball Canada’s inaugural Nationals on October 4–5, 2025, at RIM Park in Waterloo, ON.

This year, we are fielding competitive teams in both the Men’s and Women’s divisions, with a single goal: bringing gold home to Ontario.

About Team Ontario

The athletes selected for Team Ontario have earned their place through a rigorous evaluation process. Our Head Coaches, in collaboration with Dodgeball Ontario’s strategic brain trust, have carefully assessed players using Dodgeball Canada’s national athlete evaluation criteria.

Over the coming months, both teams will participate in regular training sessions and development initiatives to ensure they’re prepared to compete at the highest level.

Coaching Staff

Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

Meet the talented coaching staff leading Team Ontario into Nationals:

Head Coach

Women’s Foam Division

Shadae Berkley

Shadae has built an impressive legacy in Canadian dodgeball, both on the court and on the sidelines. With a passion for competition and a dedication to growth –her own and that of her athletes – she’s quickly becoming a key figure in the sport nationally and internationally. As a player, Shadae is a six-time provincial champion, earning three titles in Alberta and three in Ontario. She’s competed at the Canadian National Championships eight times, capturing two national titles along the way. Her career on the world stage is just as decorated: she’s a two-time gold medalist at the WDBF World Championships - once as a member of the Canadian women’s foam squad, and once as head coach of that very program. Off the court, Shadae brings over a decade of coaching experience, including seven years in volleyball and five years in dodgeball. Her coaching philosophy centers on fairness, transparency, and empowerment. She’s committed to creating an environment where every athlete feels valued and supported, while still being challenged to reach their full potential. Whether she's competing, coaching, or mentoring, Shadae is driven by a belief in the power of sport to build confidence, community, and character.

Head Coach

Men’s Foam Division

Victor Gravili

“Coach Vic” is no stranger to the Ontario dodgeball scene, combining a championship pedigree with a deep, enduring commitment to the development of athletes and the sport. Internationally, he holds the all-time WDBF records for coaching appearances, wins, and medals. Under his guidance, Team Canada has earned six medals, including three finals appearances and a gold. Domestically, he recently led the Toronto Mavericks to an undefeated run at the Dodgeball Club Championships, helping the Mavs secure their second National Championship. This fall, Coach Vic takes on a new challenge as head coach of Team Ontario at the inaugural Dodgeball Canada Nationals. Known for building high-performance environments, his leadership is expected to set a new provincial standard. Over the past decade and a half, Coach Vic’s coaching style has evolved to a dynamic hybrid of player coach and tactician. He’s known for demanding excellence and accountability from every athlete he works with, and for his ability to bring out the best in each one of them, regardless of their role or experience. Beyond the court, Coach Vic has had a lasting impact on the sport’s infrastructure in Canada. As one of the founding members of Dodgeball Canada, he was instrumental in launching the country’s first high-performance strategy, leading numerous athlete development initiatives. His efforts helped shape both national and international standards for play and competition.

Assistant Coach

Men’s Foam Division

Beth Villeseche

Beth is a trailblazer in Canadian dodgeball, with nearly 19 years of experience as a competitive player and coach. Over her decorated career, she has won more than 70 championships and competed in over 800 matches, establishing herself as one of the sport’s most accomplished athletes. A former World Champion, Beth was instrumental in Canada’s gold medal win at the 2013 WDBF World Championship in New Zealand. She is also a three-time Nationals champion and a foundational figure in the development of women’s dodgeball in Ontario. Beth transitioned into coaching in 2017, leading Team Maple Leaf at the WDBF World Championship. From 2018 to 2022, she served as an assistant coach for Team Canada, helping mentor the next generation of elite players. That same year, she joined the coaching staff at Humber College, where she continued to grow the sport and inspire young athletes through her leadership and passion. As a player, Shadae is a six-time provincial champion, earning three titles in Alberta and three in Ontario. She’s competed at the Canadian National Championships eight times, capturing two national titles along the way. Her career on the world stage is just as decorated: she’s a two-time gold medalist at the WDBF World Championships - once as a member of the Canadian women’s foam squad, and once as head coach of that very program.
