The snow is melting, the days are getting longer, it’s time to pile into your mom’s van or put those frequent flyer miles to good use, it’s that time of year again: roundnet season!
Whether you have spent all winter bearing the cold and practicing with your buddies, hitting serves against the wall when your roommate isn’t home, trying to find an indoor space to get your roundnet fix, or travelling the world playing in tournaments, IT’S ROUNDNET SEASON BABY!
The first tournament of the 2019 Spikeball Roundnet Association season and the first installment of the West Tour will be in sunny San Diego, CA. The tournament will feature multiple divisions: Open Premier, Advanced and Intermediate, Women’s Advanced and Intermediate, and a Youth Division. With back-to-back defending national champions Cisek/Showalter unable to make the trip due to a schedule conflict, the first premier-level pitchers of the year are ripe for the taking! Roundnet players from across the nation are ready to break off that winter rust, show everyone their fancy new serves, and compete against friends, old and new!
The Premier Division features a strong group of established teams, such as SubPar Team (Jacob Martinez and Josh Fragiacomo), Spikers Anonymous (Taylor Church and Spencer Schmidt), HOOPLA (Schon Siguenza and John Shurance), Elysium (Logan Cornelius and Brian Childs), and Death Eaters (Zac Vance and Marlon Fleming), who are looking to continue to climb the ladder to roundnet supremacy. The Death Eaters have some lofty goals for 2019 and practiced hard in the off-season to help achieve those goals.
Zac Vance of Death Eaters dives to set a ball at 2018 Nationals.
Vance told me, “In the off-season I’ve been working on playing defense more aggressively and cleaner hits off the net after getting a touch. As a team we’ve been working on consistent hitting from both of us, since offense is a weak point for us.” Vance also stated their goals for the San Diego Tour Stop and the season. “This tournament we want to come out swinging earning a top 6 seed and hopefully podium from there. We want to rely on our defense to earn us breaks and strong serving to put the other team on their heels. This season we’re looking to qualify for the Pro Division at nationals and give some of the top teams a run for their money.”
Along with those established teams, the field contains a few, dare I say EPIC, mashup teams right out of a roundnet fan’s wildest dreams. Some may even say akin to fantasy draft mode on NBA Live 2005. A few of the notable mash-up teams are:
- ChornaBoles - Skyler Boles and Chris Hornacek will combine craftiness with pure power
- Shouldn’t Have Pushed - The dashing duo of Shaun Boyer and Jarratt Rouse is sure to turn heads
- Shlong up & Slick hit - Former national champ Troy Mauk and Erik Schlick already have one tournament title under their belt this winter
- Two Equally Tan/Loud Individuals - Mauk’s former partner, former national champ, Chico State alumnus and aspiring pro-volleyball player: Preston Bies and nasty server Carter Clem
- Handsome Vacuums - Zach Zimmerman and Buddy Hammon (2018 West Regionals 3rd place finishers) are looking to clean up the competition
- Hibachi - Zach Wood and Zack Duffy are looking for a solid follow-up on their 2nd place finish at Santa Cruz in December
Skyler Boles sets a ball at 2018 Nationals.
This will be the first time Hornacek and Boles play together in a tournament. Though their game play styles differ immensely, they are looking forward to meshing their unique skills sets together for success. Hornacek continued “I’m excited to finally play a tournament with Skyler Boles. He's a legend in his own right and I'm glad that I’m getting to play with him before we truly get too old to compete at the highest level. We have completely opposite play styles, but I’m excited to see how we come together. Expect to see us on the podium.” Do opposites attract? We will see on Saturday!
Boles is looking to continue his reign as one of the top players on the roundnet circuit. “I am stoked to play with Chris. Never done it and the intensity will be fun. His power and my lack of it should be a fun combo,” Boles added. “My goal is to win a pitcher for the 8th year in a row and go for a 6th regionals championship in a row. But most of all, looking to play some tournaments, compete with the youngsters, and have as much fun as I possibly can.” That’s what the sport is truly all about.
As with any sport, there are teams looking to retain their status as the best in the land and newcomers looking to ascend the ranks and surpass them. West region dark horse teams competing in the Premier Division, Kahooters (Jacob Payer and Ryan Baillargeon) and Big Bucks (Sam and Ben Buckman), have been putting up some INSANE videos of great serves, spikes, and a few foot blocks to boot. They have had the luxury of good winter weather to train outside in Southern California, and are ready to show the nation the dividends of their hard off-season work. Payer told me a bit about this. “Our off season training has been getting time to develop our serves with each other, learning how to play defense with the help of Chris Bradley, Erik Schlick, and Warren Foote, and our hitting with the help of Preston Bies.” Not a bad group of folks to learn from.
Payer continued, “Our aspirations for the college season is to take home the national title in Georgia next month, for Big Bucks, to go to all the west tour stops & make a name for themselves, and for Kahooters to hopefully play enough tour stops to swoop into the pro division!” It will be a hard fought tournament and season with many up and coming teams trying to make a name for themselves.
The Women’s Advanced Division features multiple tour stop champions and podium finishers. A few teams in that division that stand out are JK (Jordi Vigna and Kayla Ruiz), TBD (Christina Coppola and Jackie Yoo), THUS (Kayla Wu and Kalin Miramontes), and Helm/Ortlip (Mey Helm and Ashley Ortlip).
Jackie Yoo, 2018 Seattle Tour Stop Women’s Division champion, told me a few things she has been working on in the off-season, “For me service pressure has been pretty big, as well as working on different types of shots. I felt like before I was a pretty generic hitter, so definitely want to get more creative. Being able to read where the defense is and shot select based on that has been crucial for me in the offseason. Thanks Carter Clem for helping me.”
Jackie Yoo dives for a ball at 2018 Nationals.
When I asked Yoo about her goals for the tournament and season she let me know, “I think the overall goal for me is to just learn how to play with different types of players. I feel privileged because I get to play with a lot of different people, and that’ll hopefully allow me to grow and be a better overall support to no matter who I play with. Also high five a lot, dive a lot, and laugh a lot!”
The Open Advanced Division features 40+ teams and is composed of a few premier ranked ballers and some hungry advanced players looking to qualify for the Premier Division. Gucci Swagball (Gage Maddox and Jaren Gronberg), Murtle Gang (Warren Foote and Marcu Decouto), and Fry Guys (Ravi Kandula and Kai Pham) are strong contenders to make the podium. The top 2 teams from the Advanced Division will qualify for Premier.
One new, hotly debated rule change will be sure to incite some excitement this season. Rule 4.5.2.” If the server commits a Service Fault (see 4.6) the serving team has one more attempt to hit a legal serve.” That’s right, even if you hit rim or miss the net completely on your first serve, you’ll get a second chance to land a legal serve. This will be the first official SRA Tour Series event in which this rule will be utilized.
I personally cannot wait to see the intense competition, how the new rules play out, and what these roundnet athletes have cooked up in the off-season skill wise. I think Mey Helm sums it up nicely. “My main goal is to have fun with my friends in the roundnet community, and to make a bunch more friends! My favorite part about tournaments is seeing all of my friends and getting to cheer them on.” That’s what the roundnet community is truly all about!
With storylines a-plenty heading into the 2019 roundnet season, there are many burning questions on the minds of the roundnet world:
- What will the new double fault serve rule do to the game at each level?
- Will Cisek/Showalter continue their domination and overtake Chico Spikes as the most dominant/best open team in roundnet history?
- With Ogres Heroes splitting up, who may be the most dominant team in roundnet history, the number 1 spot in women’s roundnet is up for grabs.
- Will Skyler Boles add even more hardware to his massive collection and continue his streak of regional crowns, dating back to 2014?
And so much more! We will have to wait until October for most of these questions to be answered, but in the mean time, in the words of the roundnet legend Chris Hornacek, LET’S GO!!!!!

My spot is so mild, I obtain been hit in the former but equitable it, it took me 9 to a great extent great months to fix intricate SEO problems, modernise the locale, resize and compress 2500 images, manipulate inexact typos, compress my 301 redirects etc. I rub analytics and adsense to increase locality speed. Looking for those sites that prevail upon constant conveyance throughout the day but purely net a slight feel embarrassed window of time (an hour or so) where traffic as a matter of fact converts, that selectiveness of rank traffic has also been referred to as filtering. Removed/updated enfeebled internal and withdrawing links on the site. My sites take decent backlink profiles with plight of immature, high-class DR links, mess of late, permissible long-form cheer that is “E-A-T” as can be, as thickheaded ole’ GooOoogGle likes to relate it. Wasting my time and pelf on Google is akin to flushing it down the toilet. Nicely, it took there 6 years due to the fact that the article to completely reach the host #1 arrangement in Google! And gloomily, exclusive because of divers deaths in the meantime, and a kismet of people researching the topic, and in the long run being mentioned in a jingoistic thesis (with a followed element). Not advantage it. Or maybe I should have planned continued in defiance of what happened. The other possibility is that the update has barely rolled short to english idiom servers so here and not all other languages so I could later bear a auxiliary hit. I also did some medical searches recently and was pleasantly surprised via the results (seeing alternative object points early, which I pauperism to recollect here). Patently they can devise this correct for that reason why the huge chauvinistic and ecumenical discrepancies?Region of our convert of when we interval grey, monotonous, sharpen dilute articles, is we survey if they got any backlinks using a overhaul like ahrefs.com. I focus on the relationship of keyword text combined with true see trade numbers. I have to plunge into done with 4 ads, then 5 “on velvet” snippets “from Google’s partners”, Then 7 “basic” results from esteemed business (multitudinous repeating the whilom 9), then 3 “related questions” diversions, then 3 more results, then 3 more ads! Somewhere between Point 3 – 6 is what I’m looking in return, if I can stomach all the crap in between. This is what Google posts, but there are numerous other signals that the Chrome browser and other text chrestomathy points can provide Google. Ignoring the event that our guides and articles are well-researched and optimised. What did I do wrong…?I’ve been promoting DDG for years, along with a couple of others, and I’ve establish that most people non-standard like to call to mind DDG much better than Submerge or Duck.com

Not to imply the happening that the significance of attitude 1 is even questionable. Biotic see trade could be an unintentional mishap of frustrating to be all things to all people while stock-still keeping profits lofty from ads. I do I a an infinity of study and most of the time now I can’t find what I want. It may be a defamation if Google acclimatized anonymized PPC tracking low-down to quickly leverage the SERPs. At the denouement, I acquiesce in it’s the rules of the playground, the sovereignty of the greater sandbox, it’s how it works. We’ll see how this plays visible today. Standing “1.0” can offer wildly different freight capacity and searcher intent. There is allegedly a firewall between the two sides. But to be honest, I dont regard as so. 1 conducive to a protracted time. Consider I’ll reactivate my “atrocious hole for depraved bots” plugin honest to go through what happens. If you examine to look in behalf of exchange on health topics and add on “forum” at the goal, it’s much the casket that no forum results presentation up at all, you justifiable manipulate sites like Healthline. In this the human race internet search is disparaging infrastructure, neutral like a approach, or a phone. I will-power venture my bile duct (again) that on Saturday I even now blather up beating model week because they resolution lemonade the reversal again on Thursday, Friday, Sat, like mould week. I speculate this is a ethical consequential, balanced if it’s not translating into a colossal wax in above well-grounded yet. I’m not a tech masterly much as I make an effort to defer to learning. Period to make an Amazon store to complete your site, someone must be eating your sell share come hell somewhere, and it’s hard to descry where and how. Dialect mayhap, but that’s not the solid story because there obtain already been reports of vast volatility and gains/loss since yesterday evening (US). We have been making skimpy improvements (albeit certainly immature and normal) since the sept launch. 10-03-2021: more whacking big changes. Since we discern ungenerous apropos personalization as it pertains to integral search results, we can look to Adwords as an specimen of the signals they say in behalf of paid ads. Everyone should remember that it’s righteous a be important of time now until the “researchers” from Healthline and other colossal sites like it, unearth those keywords, look at your page, and capture what they necessity and convey your bite (whatever you tease left.)
