You can help fill the need for quality assurance programs.  With a unique budget, easy-to-follow operational materials, and the most comprehensive technical materials available, you will be able to set up a SPIKES® program in your community quickly and efficiently.  The profits from running the program can fund a competitive volleyball club, raise money for a local organization, or amount to fun, part-time income for an independent program coordinator.

Ontario Volleyball has worked with experts in skills development for children and youth to modify the sport of volleyball.  For instance, we have a 8:1 ratio for leaders working with SPIKES participants, this mean there is much more attention to detail, and leaders can focus on a few children instead of an entire class! We’ve also made volleyball more accessible and fun for youth who are learning the game.  For instance, for the 9-12 age group, we recommend playing 3 per side, so that everyone gets to touch the ball.  The ball is softer, so it doesn’t hurt your arms, and the net is lower so that everyone experiences greater success.  The drills and games are designed so that everyone has lots of fun and learns volleyball skills like never before!  And, most importantly, we teach good communication, safety, and fair play, as integral skills to being a good athlete and teammate.
