You can pick whatever format you think will work best for your students. ( here’s a link or check it out below)Ī post shared by Ben Landers Score or Play for Fun? I keep the format as the previous week for the stations to help with management since students are already familiar with the layout and directions from the previous week. Instead of Bouncing it down and striking it up (which is a 4 square serve) they will Hold it Up and Strike it down. ![]() Another thing I talk to my 3rd – 5th Graders about is the fact that the Spikeball Serve is the opposite of the 4 Square Serve that we learned in our 4 Square Unit.Also I tell them to use a “Lego Hand” when holding the ball up, which is an awesome visual that you’re kids will understand – shout out to My Co-Teacher Coach Cooper for this great idea, once I started using “Lego Hands” to describe holding the ball up before a serve, my kids really got the concept much more quickly.For the cues for the spike I use “Hold it Up, Strike it Down” to remind students not to throw it, but to hold it up with their non dominant hand and spike it down with their dominant hand.The following week with K-2, we transition into striking the ball or “Spiking” it depending on the terminology you want to use. ![]() The rules are basically the same as 2 v 2 volleyball, but instead of going over a net, you spike the ball down onto the net across to your opponents.Ī post shared by Ben Landers and Catch Stations The past few years I’ve been in the routine of doing a 4-Square Unit or Lesson at the beginning of the year and then circling back around to striking with hands by doing some Spikeball Activities towards the end of the year.Īnother interesting fact about Spikeball is that the sport is actually called “Roundnet” and Spikeball is just the most popular brand that’s brought the sport back into popularity through it’s incredible marketing and awesome customer service. I feel that Spikeball is a great alternative to volleyball (in my opinion it’s easier and more elementary friendly) while working on the same skills and can easily transfer to play some volleyball type games if you want to. Since I enjoyed the game so much personally I wanted to try and share it with my students, it’s got a cool factor that many sports don’t have and I knew my students would enjoy learning the game. Why Spikeball?Īs soon as I played the game for the first time, I was hooked on how fun it was and I love how portable it is and easy to setup. I know how you feel, I’ve been teaching spikeball to my students for the past few years and it’s been a big hit. 25, at 8:15am.
