Question

Any v. ball players out there who have damaged their knees from playing v. ball? what are you doing about it?

Answer 1

i wuz at v-ball camp 3 days ago and i forgot to bring my knee pads and i tripped and scraped it really bad but that's the most damage i've ever gotten u just really need knee pads. y wat happened to u?

Answer 2

I blew an ACL, MCL and tore the meniscus in my knee playing.  Lots of therapy and training have returned the strength and some flexibility to my knee.  I often still wear a brace on the knee but it is purely psychological at this point.  

If you've damaged your knees, be sure to give them plenty of rest and do whatever physical therapy is prescribed for you.

Good Luck!

Answer 8

It depends on the damage.  If you have internal problems, you need to get it checked by a doctor or athletic trainer.  If it's just bruises or cuts make sure you where knee pads.  Some coaches don't like them, but if you have to dive for a ball you need them.  If you have cuts and need to keep some type of bandaid on it under your knee pad, it can be hard b/c of sweat.  Try putting on the bandaid and then wrapping it in pre-wrap and/or strechy tape.  (I don't know the read name, that's what I called it at school)
