SPIKES® is a developmental volleyball program that is specifically designed for elementary students. It is not volleyball in the familiar sense, but rather an approach to teaching volleyball and the related motor skills, which are transferable to other physical activities. Spikes is intended as a supplement to your regular physical education classes, not as a skills clinic for your school teams.
