Spike-Out History
The Spike Out Volleyball Tournament was originated at the Indiana School for the Deaf in 1999 under the Athletic Director and High School Volleyball Head Coach Brian Bippus, who envisioned a national Deaf volleyball tournament bringing together outstanding teams and athletes. The idea was to bring top teams to one site and let them “spike each other out” to claim the national championship.
