Abstract
A device for assisting in the training of volleyball players to learn the art and defense to the play known as spiking. This device is a holder for a volleyball at selected elevations near the volleyball net or a rebound surface. The holder allows a player to run, jump and strike the ball in a manner to drive it with great energy over the net and into opposing team's territory. The rebounder deflects a spiked ball in an unpredictable direction. The rebounder comprises a plurality of arms spaced less than a volleyball diameter apart and constituting an operating head. The operating head is positioned adjustably by a standard, whereby it may be located above and adjacent to a volleyball net to deflect unpredictably volleyballs spiked against it, for training of the defense to volleyball spiking.
