Club Program
Our Juniors Club program is for players in 5th grade through high school that meet the needs of the teams we are forming that particular season. These players will have completed tryouts, and will play in tournaments and have practices 2 times a week. We select 12 players for each team. Club season starts in Nov (Dec for 12s) through 1st week of April and for all top teams season ends the last regional championship event in 1st week of May. Some teams will go to play in nationals which are held in June and July.

What are club tournaments?
Club tournaments are where teams from different areas get together and play each other best out of 3 games to 25 in pool play and then the best teams advance to finals. We usually will play a minimum of 3 matches in one day. Some events give out medals while others just give you bragging rights. Tournaments are held in dofferent regions across the country and are sancationed by USAV. Our region is the USAV Lone Star Region. The Bid events are open to all teams wanting to qualifiey for a national tournament.
Where are the tournaments held?
Some facilities used are high schools, middle schools, convention centers, sport complexes, church gyms, ect.. It really varies.

How many events do the teams play in?
Club teams will play in 9 - 10 tournaments that are usually on Saturdays or some on Sun.. . Changes in the tournament schedules are always discussed with the team before final selections are made. Most teams will play 2 tournaments a month. But there are opportunites to continue play through July if we get to attend the USAV Nationals, held in end of June and July.

How long do tournaments last?
Players need to plan on being at a tournament from 8am to 5- 7pm. or some starts 2:00pm - 10:00pm
Even though most tournaments begin play at 8am and finish by 6 pm, there are always exceptions. If we have an 8am match, players will arrive by 7am. or 1:30pm

Our Mission
Here at Spike Sport, Our mission is to teach the area youth and junior to train the right techniques to develop our players with a solid foundation for success and to become competitive volleyball playerson court and in life.
We will build a feeder program with a strong foundation of skills for our club program and the area high schools, colleges.
Our goal is to discipline our players to: PLAY THEIR BEST OF THEIR ABILITY ALL THE TIME”.
Led by founder and head coach Ron Roodgari, the Volleyball For All organization is an incredible opportunity for youth to improve their mental and physical fitness as well as develop communication and leadership skills.
" Volleyball for All, Volleyball for life "

Do the teams play in USAV National qualifiers?
All teams who are willing to attend nationals will post the Nationals entry fee in advance and then they can play in the regional bid championships,to earn the rights to attend the USAV Nationals representing Virginia or a USAV Bid tournament to earn a chance to play at the USAV Nationals. .
It is the organizations policy not to drain families of funds for travel expenses when we can attend quality tournaments within our zone. When we have teams that are ready to be recruited we will seek tournaments where they can been seen by scouts. We believe families should spend their volleyball fund dollars wisely when their players are at a young age. We try and make our travel tournaments a family fun event.
