The PRO Roundnet League did not start as a league. It started as a squad event — seven players, one club, one weekend in Las Vegas — and grew, season by season, into a national club league. This is how.
Dates and champions are on this page — but the why belongs to the men who built it. Alex Hart and Kaleb Wagner are each writing a letter on the history and purpose of this league.
Las Vegas, Nevada · February 10–11, 2023
Roundnet’s first squad championship. The American Spikers League ran the first Spikers Program Playoffs in Las Vegas: 43 squads and more than 300 players, every squad seven players strong and drawn from its own home area — clubs built inside a 200-to-500-mile boundary, so a title meant your region really was the best in the country. Three divisions: Premier, Contender and Women’s.
Winter Garden, Florida · February 2–3, 2024
The playoffs moved to Florida, and Spikeball billed the weekend as the largest squad event in the history of roundnet. Alex Hart and Kaleb Wagner — running the league then, running it now — previewed the weekend on That Roundnet Podcast. All three champions finished unbeaten: Livonia Bang took Premier at 10–0, Atlanta took Contender at 9–0 and Quebec took Women’s at 9–0. Florida was named Strongest Program.
Northeast Regional Park, Florida · January 31 – February 1, 2025
Montreal French Canadians won Premier, Kirkland Fog won Contender, and California Beach won the Women’s title for the second time in three years. By then the map had become conferences — Canada East took Strongest Conference — and one playoff weekend a year was no longer enough room for what the program had become.
Northeast Regional Park, Florida · January 30–31, 2026
The weekend became a season. Fall 2025 brought a full regular season — clubs playing inside their regions all autumn — and the playoffs crowned champions in the modern ladder for the first time.
Every past podium, squad by squad, lives on the Championship page.
Alex Hart and Kaleb Wagner have run this league from the ASL days to today — both are League Managers and Co-Owners. Alex built the club map the slow way, recruiting every club owner in the league himself. Kaleb leads the matchdays — and owns the Boise Bandits, so he runs events he also has to survive as an owner.
The league is owned by American Spikers League, LLC. The ASL name never left. It grew up.
January 29–30, 2027, the playoff weekend turns five — back at North East Regional Park in Orlando, with Matchday 3, Slot Choice and every championship bracket on one weekend. The squad event became a league. The league is just getting started.

The PRO Roundnet League is a national club-based roundnet league featuring P1, P2, M1, M2, and Women's divisions. Clubs compete throughout the season for standings, Team Elo, playoff qualification, promotion, relegation, and championships. The league is built to create long-term club identity, structured competition, regional growth, and advancement pathways from beginner levels to the highest level of play. The season includes three official matchdays followed by championship playoffs in Orlando, Florida.
The season includes three primary matchdays:
• Matchday 1 — Super Regionals (Las Vegas & Richmond)
• Matchday 2 — Local Conference Competition
• Matchday 3 — Orlando Season Finale. Championship playoff brackets begin Friday evening after Matchday 3 and conclude Saturday.
League standings use a group point system:
• Win = 3 points
• Tie = 1 point
• Loss = 0 points. Group points primarily determine playoff qualification. Team Elo combines with group points per match in the Power Score, which sets playoff seeding and the Slot Choice order and helps decide the final top-bracket spots from the Play-In Schedule.
Team Elo is the league's rating of team strength, carried all season. Every squad starts in a band set by last year's playoff finish — bands of four, with P2 starting below P1 — and squads that didn't reach last year's playoffs are calibrated on their Matchday 1 performance. Ratings stay frozen during a matchday and update once, after the full Matchday ends — never after individual matches. Elo may impact:
• Top bracket qualification
• Play-In Schedule at-large spots
• Seeding and the Slot Choice order (through the Power Score)
• Division comparisons
• Competitive balancing. The first Team Elo ratings publish November 9.
Divisions create balanced competition at every skill level while providing a clear pathway for advancement. The structure helps:
• Reduce major skill mismatches
• Create promotion opportunities
• Encourage club growth
• Reward long-term development
• Allow newer teams to compete meaningfully
