Dodgeball was James's first foray into team sports. He enjoyed playing socially and has gone on to represent Auckland Sharks and the Throwbots at New Zealand Nationals. When James isn't playing Dodgeball he is either writing software or measuring his protein and lifting weights. James is working on his curve ball and hopes to show it to the world soon.
