We 💖volleyball. I've played for many years and I'm thrilled that my daughter now follows in my footsteps. She started playing in Spike Frog's Junior Frog league in the fall of 2018. Like most of her 11 team mates, she had never played volleyball before and has grown to love the sport in just 8 weeks (I wonder if me being her coach also played a role in that? 😉). Not only have she and her team progressed immensely in a short period of time, they also took 2nd place in the end of season tournament!
We're now ready for the spring league which will start in February. If you're looking for a fun activity for your daughter or son, take a look at Spike Frog Volleyball.
About Spike Frog Volleyball
Spike Frog's mission is to create a culture of play where youth and teens can learn and improve by playing volleyball in our year round programs, leagues, camps and clinics. We offer a positive and safe environment where skills, knowledge, self-confidence, teamwork and friendships are gained.
We want every athlete regardless of skill level and experience to have the courage to try something new and to have no fear of failure. We take focus off the outcome and place it on giving best effort. This is the formula for building self-confidence that motivates individuals to keep learning and working hard regardless of outcome. We support this philosophy throughout our organization, in our training programs, recreational league play and division rule modifications, and coaches training programs.
To sum it up, we make it all about the athletes and strive to make the experience memorable and fun where every player is out on the court because of their love for the game while their biggest fans are in the bleachers cheering loud.
Leagues
Spike Frog offers three youth league divisions in the fall and four divisions in the spring to boys and girls from 2nd through 9th grade. Training will focus on skill level appropriate fundamentals and drills taught by trained volunteer coaches. One difference with Spike Frog is that our league offers options for friends to play together, coach preferences and you can choose a preferred practice night if you have other kids and activities or sports to coordinate for your family.
Spike Frog also offers two Minivolley divisions to kids age 4-6 and 6-8. Minivolley programs are totally fun with a focus on play and moving athletically. We use very low nets and light balls with positive coaching.
Minivolley - Pollywog Volleyball
Pollywog Volley is designed to help 4 to 5-year-old boys and girls get used to moving around the court and understanding how their body moves. Motor learning is the key focus. Balls used will be very light, like beach balls.

Spike Frog program administrators will supervise the activities.
