About us
Founded in 2008 by Chris Ruder, Spikeball combines elements of volleyball and four-square, played around a small circular net. The game's accessibility, portability, and ability to foster social connections have propelled its popularity across all age groups, from casual beachgoers to professional athletes.
At the core of Spikeball's success are its values, which emphasize fun, trust, growth, and inclusivity. The company encourages its community to "go big," learn from failures, and celebrate successes. Spikeball's proactive approach to change, commitment to continuous improvement, and dedication to surprising and delighting its customers have helped it evolve from a casual beach game to a competitive sport with professional tournaments. By fostering a culture of ownership, respect, and intentional inclusivity, Spikeball continues to grow its global community.
