Call For Models | Kickoff
Modeling for us isn’t about fitting a standard or matching a trend. It’s about reflecting the people who make this community what it is.
Modeling for us isn’t about fitting a standard or matching a trend. It’s about reflecting the people who make this community what it is.
We care about representing real people; the ones who show up to play, support, cheer, and build this sport together. Your identity, your shape, your style—they’re not barriers. They’re part of the story.
And if you’re part of this community, you already belong in front of our lens.

VC Gear is for Everyone
We appreciate every person wearing our apparel, and that brings us a great amount of pride—especially if people of all shapes, sizes, and genders are comfortable in what we make.
Why are we telling you this? We want to ensure we have a diverse group of community members showcasing our gear to the world and we need models to help make that happen!

Interested in Being a VC Model?
All you need to do is send a short essay (1-2 paragraphs) and a photo of yourself to help@vcultimate.com answering the following:
-
What is your dodgeball story?
-
Why do you love dodgeball? What does the dodgeball community mean to you?
-
Why and how do you think you could support us in spreading our brand values?
-
Why should you be a VC Model?
If you know someone who would be a perfect model, we are also accepting nominations! Send an application for them, but maybe warn them so we don't surprise them with a photoshoot ;)

Deadline
Please send us your submission no later than January 5th, 2026.
The Rules
There are just three simple rules you must follow:
-
You have to be an athlete/coach/participant coming to Dodgeball Toronto's Kickoff Tournament in Markham, ON in January (17th-18th). You do NOT have to be a resident of Canada to participate.
-
Do not tell us anything about your size, gender, race, etc. in your essay. We want your story to be the main way we get to know you.
-
Send us a photo of yourself in a separate file; we will only look at it near the end of the selection process.

Model Selection
We will first narrow down entries to 10-15 semi-finalist applications based on their stories only. Then, we will look at their photos to choose 6-8 finalists, who, as a group, will best represent the diversity of our community.

VC Gear Selection
The 6-8 chosen athletes will be invited to pick out a full outfit—head to toe—at the Kickoff VC Merch Zone at the tournament. That, along with a few other predetermined pieces, will be what you’re modeling.
Once the photoshoot is done, you can keep the outfit you chose! We'll also hook up all the models with copies of the photos—taken by Dodgeball Toronto’s phenomenal media team, by the way!
Thank you for taking the time and helping us continue our journey towards being the most intentional, thoughtful and inclusive apparel designer and manufacturer on the planet.
