Spikes

Ontario Volleyball has worked with Volleyball Canada, and experts in skills development for youth, to modify the sport of volleyball.  We’ve made it 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.
