Divisions
  • Women's - Women's Spikeball™ has made tremendous progress.Women are welcome to play in any division, but the women's division gives you the opportunity to match up against other lady ballers.
  • Beginner - Playing in your first Spikeball™ tournament? Still mastering the fundamentals? If you want to play against other teams who are still learning the sport this is the division for you. It will be the only division with a "gentleman's serve" rule and the vibe will be a relaxed, fun environment.
  • Intermediate - If you are newer to Spikeball™ or still honing your skills this is the division for you. This division will play by all of the official rules and is intended for people who want competition but are still developing their game.
  • Advanced - Think you're the best? Prove it. This division will include some top teams from across the country as well as newer players who want to test their skills against great competition.
  • Premier - This is the only 'invite only' division. Check out qualification requirements and eligible players list here .

How many people can I have on my team?
All the teams are composed of just two players to make it fair when endurance becomes a factor in the later rounds.

Due to the format of the tournament, each team is only permitted to play in one division.

Absolutely! We have divisions for every type of player whether you're one of the elite teams in the nation or just starting out in the sport.
