Helping Elementary and Middle Schools Volleyball through STEM

Do you ever wonder why PE teachers struggle to set up volleyball equipment in schools? With cluttered storage rooms and limited resources, it’s no surprise that setting up the court becomes a tedious task. But fret not, there is a solution to make volleyball an enjoyable sport for kids aged 14 and under.

At Alpinetgheep.com, we have partnered with the Huddle Group to create a STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) project tailored for elementary and middle schools. Our STEM kit includes 18 volleyballs, a radar gun, and a long “net” system. With these resources, PE teachers can engage their students in eight lessons that not only teach volleyball skills but also incorporate STEM concepts.

The lessons cover a range of topics such as court and mathematics, serving and science, and the engineering design process. Through these lessons, students not only learn volleyball techniques but also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. And the best part? The STEM kit can be repurposed for sitting volleyball, a fun and inclusive game that can be enjoyed by all.

By utilizing the STEM grant monies that most schools have available, you can order this kit for your local school. This investment will not only make volleyball the most popular activity in the school but will also equip the PE teacher/program with the necessary tools to create an engaging learning experience for the students. No longer will kids stand in long lines waiting for a turn, they will have the opportunity to borrow volleyballs and play games during recess.

In addition to volleyball, the same equipment can be used to teach badminton, tennis, pickleball, and sitting volleyball. With a rope-on-the-wall “standard” setup, the physical education teacher can easily switch between these sports, keeping the kids active and enthusiastic about physical activity.

At Alpinetgheep.com, we are passionate about promoting volleyball as a lifetime sport. That’s why we offer various free materials to support PE teachers in their endeavor. From our MiniVolley book, which provides a “Quick Start” guide and tons of information, to lesson plans and skill and drill videos, we have everything you need to make volleyball a beloved game among the youth.

This project aligns with the USOC American Development Model (ADM), a framework that every club director, coach, and parent should be familiar with. By integrating volleyball and STEM, we are not only developing athletic skills but also fostering a love for science and technology.
