What is the Spiker Academy? 

Designed by players for players, the Spiker Academy is the premier online community for any outside hitter or opposite attacker seeking to elevate their game. 

The Spiker Academy is not just content you can access from anywhere; it's a comprehensive platform tailored to nurture and develop the skills of pin attackers – outside hitters or opposites – aiming to transform them into the best versions of themselves.

A Community Crafted with Experience and Excellence

At the heart of the Spiker Academy is a commitment to excellence. We've meticulously curated a team of the world's best professional, national-team, and Olympic-Gold Medal winning players and coaches, masters of their crafts, to guide you through your volleyball journey. Their expertise is not just theoretical – it's practical, battle-tested, and ready to be imparted to the next generation of players.

You can get a quick glimpse of the quality of what we provide through the Academy with the Free Spiker Guide:

Inside the Academy is so much more, tailored to your needs. 

For example, are you a smaller outside hitter? We brought in arguably the best undersized outside receiver and player in the world, Jan Martínez Franchi from Argentina. He shares with you directly how he sees the game, how he trains and plays, and what he does to bring his strengths to the court while finding the best solutions in attack. 

More Than Just Training

What sets the Spiker Academy apart is its holistic approach to learning. We offer full-length courses, clinics, videos, lessons, drills, webinars, guides, and priority access to our in-person clinics. Our content covers every facet of the game. Whether you're looking to refine your serve, improve your defensive skills, master the art of spiking, or level up your mental and emotional fortitude, our academy has something to help you gain every edge.

Want to bring it from the service line? 

We brought in THE NCAA record holder and 5-year pro Nicolas Szerszeń to share all his tips on how to be a nightmare for the other team when you step back behind the line. 

AND we just released a new Arm Swing Velocity Course from ex-Canadian National Team Pro Nick Del Bianco. Guaranteed to add speed and power to your attack and serve, and help keep your shoulder healthy for the long-term. 

We know we can help you add power and deadly variation to your service and attacking game.
