Do volleyball players wear long socks?

Question

Do volleyball players wear long socks?

Answer 1

Yes, many do. They help to keep the knee pads in place and to prevent you from getting a floor burn.  For many teams, they are part of the uniform.

Answer 2

Some do. Beach players obviously don't. Some wear them to keep from scrapes, to keep their knee pads up, and I wear them to wipe the dirt off the bottom of my shoes on them so I can have better grip.

Answer 3

yes, they are usually part of your uniform, but during practice you probably don't need to. i where them all the time because i need to wear ankle braces over them

Answer 4

some do. wtf?

Answer 5

no i wear athletic socks or whatver theyre caled. theyre the ones that go halfway up my shin but some players wear long socks

i wear the shhorter ones cuz i wear active ankles so it looks better

Answer 6

Most do. I prefer long socks because I like to wipe my shoes off on them so I don't get all the dust from the floor on my hands. Also, they keep my calves and shins from getting floorburn when I dive.

Answer 7

It depends on the position you play, since I'm a libero, I'm constantly on the floor and if I forget to wear knee socks, then I get really bad floor burns.  For people who play other positions, it's entirely up to them; if you're in a position where you dive a lot and hit the floor a lot I'd advise that you wear knee socks.

Answer 8

it depends i think that its what ever you want to do!

i dont i see no need!

but if you think you should wear them then do

and dont worry what other kidds say either just do what you want to!

Answer 9

Yes, and I do too. Sometimes it depends on your position. I am a libero and I wear them to keep my knee pads in place. If you are an outside hitter, you may not need them.

Answer 10

Answer 12

Some do. I personally love them! They come in all different colors, and When i dive on my knees really hard. I think it keeps my shins from getting a floor burn. Besides, who doesn't want to make their uniform a little unique?

Answer 14

Some do, anyone who uses ankle braces usually wears them. Personally I do, to keep my ankles from getting burned if i dive weird.

Answer 15

You can wear what you want to wear.  My daughter likes wearing the crazy long socks during volleyball season, both high school & club.  

Some coaches require everyone to do one thing.

Some teams all match socks & some teams don't.
