Something is bubbling between Spikeball/roundnet and the soccer/football world.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently casually posted a photo with a set next to him.
A bit after that, Paris Saint-Germain reached out asking if we'd like to do a collab/work together. A bit closer to Earth, high school and college soccer programs are posting and reaching out. Most recently, @CoachAliH (goalkeeper coach at Texas A&M) added Spikeball to his program.
Some of the best competitive roundnet players we’ve seen come from soccer backgrounds. The team-building, footwork, touch, spatial awareness, quick reactions, creativity, and competitiveness all translate really well.
From global soccer icons, to one of the biggest clubs in the world, to college soccer camps here in the U.S. — the connection between soccer and roundnet keeps getting easier to see.
As things go, this wasn't a part of the plan. It just happened. We'll continue to follow the community and support any we can.
Thanks for the shoutout, Ali.
Plenty more to come.

TEXAS A&M Goalkeepers Spring 2026 - Playing through under press & transitional shot stopping.

YouTube - https://t.co/vIF2h9wXNk

Thoughts/ Questions
How do we create high-pressure situations to play out under a press and not lead to just clearing the ball?
How does your teams game model, build-out phase, coordinate with goalkeeper training?
Building sessions for the goalkeepers to think about both sides of the ball and decisions in transition!
Continued competitiveness within the group from the start of the session!
