2026 Spike Clinics

Seasonal Clinic/Camp Coaches

Seasonal clinic and camp coaches come from diverse backgrounds, and they all have trained with or under Coach D. Some are high-schoolers  and club players who play at a remarkably high level (who may have started at Little Spikes), injecting youthful energy and passion into their coaching. Others are college players, still deeply immersed in the game, eager to share their knowledge and insights. Lastly, there are the seasoned adults, possessing a wealth of experience and a profound understanding of the game.

What they all have in common is a commitment to nurturing young talent, a genuine love for volleyball, and a dedication to helping players improve their skills and build confidence on the court. Trust in the collective wisdom of seasonal coaches, as they bring a dynamic blend of perspectives and a shared goal - to ignite the spark of volleyball greatness in their players

"Spike" Group Options

Junior Spikes:
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (Ages 11 - 14)

Junior Spikes will range from 9-10 and 11-14 year olds who may be novice or advanced in the sport.  Volleylite balls are used to help aid the player and not to deter them to want to play the game.  The ball is lighter than the official volleyball and the leather on the ball has more of a soft feel.  This also allows the younger players to be able to serve over the net and conduct skills with more efficiency. The official volleyball will be used if the player is over 12.  There will be other training tools and strategies used.

Elite Spikes:
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Ages 14 - 18)

Elite Spikes will range from 14-18 year olds who may or may not have played previously.  Groups will be split accordingly.  The official volleyball will be used during play.  There will be numerous training tools and strategies used to learn and refine the skills of the game.
