What is SpikeBall

SpikeBall is a new volleyball adapted game with a difference.

It is played with 6 players - 4 on-court and 2 subsitutes, using a volleyball, a net and a smaller (badminton size) court.

The main differences between SpikeBall and 6 a side volleyball are:

  • The 2nd touch must be a “catch and throw”
  • The game may be started with a toss from half way up the court
  • Team must rotate after 3 successful tosses/serves
  • Automatic substitution every time the team rotates
  • Team must have 3 touches

Spikeball is more fun for children! Why?:

  • Game Play 95% of the time
  • Skills learned within a game structure
  • Easy teaching progressions
  • 100% more touches than the 6 a side game
