Help!! Someone with volleyball experience needed?!

Question

Okay, so tryouts are over, and I'm officially on the team, but I'm leaving for a few days to attend a wedding. I'll be missing the team "fitting", so I need some help with equipment sizes. I already own all this stuff, but the uniform color changed so pretty much everyone needs new things. Some of the things I have don't even seem to fit comfortably, so I thought I may need a different size (and different shoes perhaps?). I weigh 120 lbs, 5' 4" tall, my waist is a size 3, BUT my legs are a size 5 (basically I have a thin waist and thick legs). Please help me pick the size that would seem to fit for the following things:

1. Active Ankles [Braces]: S M L XL

2. Knee Pads [Mizuno VSI]: S M L

3. Spandex Shorts [Mizuno Vortex]: XXS XS S M L XL XXL

4. Shoes are probably going to be the hardest part because I won't be able to try them on. Here are the three I can choose from: Mizuno Wave Spike II, Mizuno Wave Tornado 3, and Mizuno Wave Lightning 4. My current tennis shoes are size 10, but my feet range from 8-10.

Additional questions: How tight should the spandex be, like pantyhose or swimsuit tight? How tight should the kneepads be? While playing volleyball, does it help if the shoes are looser or tighter than regular tennis shoes?

Thank you, I know that was a lot, but it'll really help!

Answer 1

1. Active Ankles: M

2. Knee Pads: M

3. Spandex: S

4. Shoes: Mizuno Wave Spike II

The spandex should be however tight is comfortable for you. I would say not too tight as to cut of the circulation in your legs but not too loose that it rides up. Probably about swimsuit tight.

Same with the kneepads, it's all about personal preference. Not too tight but not too loose.

Your shoes should be the same tightness as your regular athletic shoes.

If you have any other questions just ask me and I'd be happy to help!

Answer 2

active ankles: m

knee pads: m

spandex shorts: m

spandex shouldbe tight but not skin tight. like form fitting

kneepads need to be tight so they won't slide off

normaly fitting shoes the ones that feel comfortable but not falling off or cutting curculation off or anything

Answer 4

well my cousin does play volleyball at her high school and she wears pantyhose under her team uniform shorts. She is the ONLY girl that wears pantyhose during practice and league games. She gets alot of compliments from classmates and teammates too.
