The OVA has worked with experts in skills development for children and youth 6 to 13 years old to modify the sport of volleyball to increase early success – maximizing learning and fun! SPIKES® House Leagues are run by OVA Clubs and community groups throughout Ontario and are offered at a low cost per participant. Many beginners enroll in a SPIKES® program to make new friends, learn the basics of volleyball, and further their skills to prepare for a competitive volleyball future. This program runs for 1 hour every week for approximately 7-10 weeks (depending on the season).
