What is SpikeScience?

SpikeScience is an AI volleyball training platform that uses computer vision biomechanics to build a personalized volleyball program from your phone video. You upload a 10-30 second clip, receive a biomechanics analysis with PRISM score across 7 performance dimensions, injury risk screening, and a position-specific training program with a full monthly workout calendar. It is built for individual players — no team, coach, or club membership required.

How does AI volleyball video analysis work?

SpikeScience uses computer-vision pose estimation to map joint angles, kinematic sequence, jump height, arm swing mechanics, and landing quality from your phone video. The AI compares your movement patterns to elite position-specific benchmarks and generates a PRISM score across 7 biomechanical dimensions: power, rotational mechanics, approach timing, jump mechanics, arm swing efficiency, landing quality, and movement symmetry. Most analyses complete within 2-5 minutes of upload.

What is the PRISM score in volleyball?

PRISM is SpikeScience's proprietary biomechanical scoring system that measures 7 volleyball performance dimensions: Power, Reactive strength, Impact forces, Symmetry, Mechanics, Mobility, and Consistency. Each dimension is scored 0-100 against position-specific elite benchmarks. The PRISM score identifies exactly which biomechanical areas are holding you back and drives the personalized training program.

How much does SpikeScience cost?

SpikeScience Pro costs $19.99/month after a 30-day free trial with full access to all features. The subscription includes unlimited AI biomechanics video analyses, personalized training programs, a full monthly workout calendar, 500+ exercise library, PRISM score tracking, injury risk screening for ACL prevention, progress tracking, and a recruiting profile builder. There are no per-analysis fees, no team licenses, and no setup fees. You can cancel anytime. Payments are processed securely by Stripe.

Can I use SpikeScience without a team or coach?

Yes. SpikeScience is specifically designed for individual volleyball players who train independently, change teams frequently, or want supplemental AI volleyball instruction outside of team practice. You upload your own video, receive your own biomechanics report, and follow your own personalized program. Your training history and progress tracking follow you across team changes — not your team or club.

What volleyball positions does SpikeScience support?

SpikeScience supports all six volleyball positions: outside hitter, middle blocker, setter, libero, opposite hitter, and defensive specialist. Each position has dedicated biomechanical benchmarks, drill libraries, strength exercises, and movement analysis tailored to the specific demands of that role on the court.

Does SpikeScience help with college volleyball recruiting?

Yes. SpikeScience includes a recruiting profile builder with verified performance metrics, biomechanics reports, and PRISM score data that athletes can share directly with college coaches. A 2024 survey of 68 Division I coaches found that approach jump height is the #1 metric in prospect evaluation, and SpikeScience provides objective, documented measurements with timestamps that improve program inquiry rates for qualified athletes.

How does SpikeScience screen for volleyball injury risk?

SpikeScience screens your video for four high-risk landing patterns: knee valgus (inward knee collapse), stiff-knee landing (less than 30 degrees knee flexion), lateral trunk lean, and asymmetric bilateral contact. These patterns are associated with ACL injury risk, which is 6-8x higher in female volleyball players. The platform then prescribes neuromuscular training exercises — research shows such programs reduce ACL injury rates by 50-75% in high-risk populations.

What is volleyball offseason training?

Volleyball offseason training is the structured program of strength, power, and conditioning work you do between competitive seasons to build the physical qualities that will make you better next season. SpikeScience builds your offseason program from AI analysis of your video biomechanics, so every phase targets the deficiencies that limited your performance last season.

How long should a volleyball offseason program last?

A typical volleyball offseason program runs 12-16 weeks and progresses through phases: hypertrophy (4-6 weeks), max strength (4-6 weeks), power conversion (3-4 weeks), and pre-season transition (2-3 weeks). SpikeScience periodizes your offseason automatically based on your season timeline and analysis results.

How is SpikeScience offseason training different?

Generic offseason programs give every player the same exercises. SpikeScience analyzes your video, identifies your specific biomechanical deficiencies from last season, and builds your offseason program around fixing them. Your program progresses through periodized phases that build on each other, and adapts as you improve.

Can I do offseason training at home?

Yes. SpikeScience generates offseason programs for whatever equipment you have. Bodyweight exercises build strength and power at home. Plyometric exercises develop explosive power without equipment. If you have dumbbells, bands, or a medicine ball, your program incorporates them — but they are not required.

How often should volleyball players train in the offseason?

Offseason training should be 3-5 sessions per week depending on the phase. Hypertrophy phase: 3-4 sessions per week. Max strength phase: 3 sessions per week. Power conversion: 3 sessions per week. Pre-season transition: 2-3 sessions. SpikeScience schedules your sessions automatically on your workout calendar.

How much does volleyball offseason training cost?

SpikeScience costs $19.99/month after a 30-day free trial with full access to unlimited AI biomechanics analysis, personalized offseason programs, 500+ exercise videos, workout calendar, and progress tracking. A personal trainer for offseason programming costs $200-500/month. SpikeScience gives you personalized programming for a fraction of the cost.

How It Works

Step 1

Upload Your Video

Record a 10-30 second clip of your approach, serve, pass, or set with your phone. No special equipment needed.

Step 2

AI Analyzes Your Mechanics

The AI identifies the biomechanical deficiencies that limited your last season and builds your offseason program around fixing them.

Step 3

Periodized Offseason Program

Your program progresses through hypertrophy, max strength, power conversion, and pre-season transition phases — all built from your analysis.

Step 4

Follow Your Offseason Calendar

Your daily calendar schedules every offseason session. Re-analyze before pre-season to measure improvement and adapt your program.

4 Phases of Your Offseason

Hypertrophy Phase

Build your base. Higher volume, moderate loads, 3-4x per week. Focus on squat strength, deadlift strength, and upper body pushing/pulling. 4-6 weeks.

Max Strength Phase

Build maximum force production. Heavier loads, lower volume, 3x per week. Focus on bilateral strength and progressive overload. 4-6 weeks.

Power Conversion Phase

Convert strength to power. Plyometrics, Olympic lift variations, medicine ball throws. Lower volume, higher intensity, 3x per week. 3-4 weeks.

Pre-Season Transition

Sport-specific conditioning and skill integration. Shorter, more explosive sessions. Prioritize movement quality and readiness. 2-3 weeks.
