Development League (Winter 2026-27)

The Development League teaches the fundamentals of volleyball through a mix of instruction, drills, and competition. Players will spend 45 minutes working on skills each session, followed by game play for the remainder of the time. Players should expect to be in the Development League for three (3) full 8-week sessions before they move up to the Champions League.

The Grade 5-6 Development League is for players who have already played in our Spikes Learn to Play program and received a Silver Certificate Medal. Or, the child can be recommended for the program by the Spikes coach when receiving their ‘What’s Next’ report.The Grade 7-8 Development League is an introductory volleyball league for middle school students who have some experience playing volleyball e.g. Pakmen Technique Tutoring or Spikes for one or two seasons.

The Grade 9-12 Development League is an introductory volleyball league for high school students. They should have played in one of our programs before, or have some experience playing volleyball. If they are new to volleyball, we recommend they enrol in Technique Tutoring for one season, then move up to the Development League.

All players receive an official Pakmen T-shirt and participate in a championship with medals and prizes on the last day.
