Spikeball, Founded in Kankakee, Welcomes CEO Students

Spikeball is more than just a brand. It is a community built around competition, fun, inclusivity, and connection. And did you know Spikeball was founded right here in Kankakee?

This week, CEO students visited Spikeball’s 50,000+ square foot distribution center located in Kankakee. Adam Lagesse, Global Warehousing Director, led the tour and shared valuable insights into supply chain management.

Students learned how Spikeball fulfills orders across the globe through B2B (business to business) and D2C (direct to consumer) channels, gaining an inside look at the logistics and teamwork required to run a worldwide brand from right here in Kankakee.

A big thank you to Adam and the Spikeball team for welcoming us and giving our students an up-close look at what it takes to manage operations at this scale.
