From its inception in 2019 to now, Spiketown USA has operated as a volleyball club program with satellite locations throughout Wisconsin. We've provided club opportunities for underserved areas of the state as well as programming for multi-sport athletes. With a combined 20 years of high school, 27 years of club, and 15 years of collegiate coaching experience, our directors Braeden Melton and Jon Ellmann have been involved in the game at all levels and are excited to implement what they’ve learned throughout that ongoing journey. 

​

As our club dives into the national level scene, we have been creating a model that is centered around the development and evolution of all parties involved. We believe strongly that players, families, coaches, and administrators all have an opportunity to develop via the conduit that is youth athletics.  We utilize age/developmentally appropriate curricula in the areas of sports psychology/human performance, strength and conditioning, and principle-based volleyball training as a framework for that development. There is no shortage of available information in today’s world. By having clear principles, we are able to select frameworks and systems that have been proven again and again to produce success at all levels of the game in the areas of sports psychology/human performance, strength and conditioning, and the sport of volleyball. We believe that the critical inflection point is somewhere between knowledge acquisition and the formation of new habits, skills, and strengths.  The challenge that excites us is taking complex data and research and delivering it in a way that is easy to understand and apply for our student-athletes.
