Answer 2

If its discolored or you think something is broken, have it checked out, otherwise, sprained thumbs are just part of volleyball, and learning how to tape your thumb can really help.  I think the website below has a good explination of how to tape a thumb.  I personally don't do the longitudinal stirrups because these dont prevent the thumb from bending away from the rest of the fingers, which is probably why your thumb is sprained in the first place...  http://www.nismat.org/traincor/spica.htm...

Talk to your coach, but I was taught when blocking, your thumbs need to be pointing toward the ceiling.  It may take an inch or two off of your vertical reach, but you will be taking more horizontal space from the hitter, and you aren't exposing your thumbs to the ball as much...

Answer 3

forget the tape, you should get it checked out by a doctor. i wouldn't continue to play until you get it checked out. my friend sprained her finger and kept playing. now she can barely bend it and she has to go to the doctor to see if she might of done more damage to it
