After waiting a few hours for her to wake up (see photo) weRead more…

Hey Everyone, Glad to hear you all like our new Spikeballer of the Week series. It’s truly a great way to honor those that put in the hours to help the kids. This week’s Baller of the Week takes a little different turn though. Kids be afraid… The directions for SBOTW are pretty easy: answer some questions and send me 2 pictures. One of you playing Spikeball and the other can be whatever you want. Our good friend, CongressmanRead more…

Thanks for all of the submissions. I’m sorry to report that the Spikeball Community’s Not-So-National-Geographic skills leave a lot to be desired. No one named the right location. Since most of you are most likely used to consolation prizes… And the winner is… Actually we’ve got 2 winners: Kevin Luo of Northwestern U and Blake Rosekrans of Milwaukee, WI!!! They were the closest but were still pretty far. Photo #2 is Straight Outta Little Compton,Read more…

Go on, hit play, I see you staring at that triangle in the bottom right hand corner. Push it. I bet your heads starts bobbing within 10 seconds of the video playing. Yeaaaahhhh, feel better already, don’t you? Ballers and Ballettes, It’s been a while- how are things? All is well here. Rather than ramble on, I figured I’d share a few recent excerpts from my ultra private, always scandalous Spikeball diary…don’t tell anyone. JuneRead more…
