Should I ask a girl from the gym to play in a Dodgeball tournament this weekend or not?

I (23/m for reference) had an idea to get a dodgeball team together to play in a tournament being held in my city this Saturday. As it is short notice I am having a tough time finding ladies to join the team. The tournament requires all teams to have at tleast 2 ladies on the court at all times so without a ny on the team we cannot register at all. There is a young woman I see at the gym in the morning but have not talked to yet because, well it's a gym and she is clearly busy/ has headphones. Do you think I should ask if she would like to join or is that beyond weird?

Edit: In addition to what I replied below, we do have a few "maybes" from some ladies but I am not willing to pay over almost $300 for registration until we get the required 2. So it is unlikely they will be the only girls there.

Update edit: I did it!! It went well, not super weird at all, she commented on seeing me at the gym everyday but answered with a "probably not" as dodgeball isn't her thing. I gave her a link to info on the tournament on the organizers website.

If you've never talked to her it could be pretty weird. But if making the team is something you really want to do, and youve already found another woman (so that you only need 2 more) then I'd say just fuck it and ask

Well, in regards to your second point, we only need a maximum of 2, so assuming she brings a friend. Which, why wouldn't she? Then that's all we need. I do really want to get this team together for multiple reasons. Part of the registration costs are going to charity.

The headphones mean don't talk to her. If you have literally nobody else, I mean, no possible other girls at all, then it couldn't hurt to ask. Don't bother her if that's not the case though

I have literally asked 64 people today, I am reaching here. I respect the headphone "rule." I know that If I do and she declines than I should leave her alone to do her workout.

Option B: Use a giant whiteboard to get her attention in a comedic fashion. This way you're not making her take out her headphones. She's choosing to take them out to talk to you.

That might work, but also might backfire, the also weird thing about this situation is we both go to the gym at around 6 am. And nobody likes mornings.

Worst that can happen is she'll think you're creepy, call the cops, you'll be arrested and charged with manslaughter for the hooker they find in your trunk and then you'll be thrown in to jail where you won't be raped because everybody heard about what you did to that hooker so they know not to fuck with you, but when you get out the pimp still has it in for you so he hunts you down across several continents and eventually you'll flee into space because I'm assuming Elon Musk has figured that shit out by the time you're out of prison and he chases you across the star system and at some point it becomes a sorta sitcom and you end up on nick@nite.

Yes, ask her if she happens to know anyone that might want to play.
