Much loved and highly anticipated each August; The Ocho continues to deliver the unique in 2021. 
 
This will be the fifth edition of ESPN8: The Ocho since the initiative began in the summer of 2017, inspired by the 2004 hit movie “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” featuring Vince Vaughn, Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller.
