Why should I get a Spike Trainer for my child?
The VST Series gives young athletes the chance to practice more often, which builds skill and confidence. Many volleyball parents choose it to help their kids chase club roster spots and college scholarships by improving their hitting form at home or in the gym.
What are the main differences between each Volleyball Spike Trainer model?
VST-100 – Portable, free-standing model on a weighted, wheeled base for driveways, backyards or gyms. Hitting height adjusts from 7½ to 10½ feet.
VST-200 – Mounts to height-adjustable basketball systems with no tools; ideal for backyard or gym use if you already have a height-adjustable basketball system. Your hoop's own adjuster sets the hitting height.
VST-300 – Attaches directly to a fixed-height basketball system (typically 10 ft) and adjusts from 7½ to 10 feet in 4-inch steps.
VST-400 – Wall-mounted model for gyms, clubs, garages and indoor training spaces. Adjusts 28 inches in 4-inch steps from the lowest setting. Mounting higher allows for more advanced players and mounting lower accommodates younger players.
VST-500 – Ceiling-mount version for basements and garages; hangs from a sturdy overhead wood beam or ceiling joists. 12 inches of height adjustment in 2-inch steps. Designed for younger players, about ages 8 to 13.
All models are designed and manufactured in California, USA and we've sold more than 10,000 systems to schools, clubs and families over the years.

Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes! Each model is adjustable for all skill levels — from new players learning to spike correctly to advanced athletes perfecting power and consistency.
For younger players, we generally recommend the EZ-Spike or VST-500. They are very affordable and still provide reps for young players.
