I am starting to play volleyball, what will i need?

Question

I am starting to play volleyball and i made the team. All i wore was the shorts and shirt i wore to basketball practice. All the girls were in spandex, and had many other accessories like long socks and nee pads. Will you please tell me what you recommend for spandex and nee pads for me. if you can post a picture that would be awesome thanks.

Answer 1

If your playing court volleyball then KEE PADS. I got mine at MCsports they are pricey but they last a long time and they work well. I started to eat like crazy when I started so I joined a fitness club it helped so much.

Answer 2

guys don't wear spandex or knee pads in volleyball

Answer 3

well lets make your shopping list:)

-knee pads !

these are a definite when you are playing court volleyball,

and as far as i know, in middle school on up, are necessary.

it doesn't usually matter what brand, just which ever ones

you feel comfortable in.

-spandex

you will some time have spandex with your uniforms,

sometimes not. sometimes coaches just want you to have them for practice. but if you do need to buy them for games, make sure that they either match your uniform or are black. you might ask your coach which they would prefer. and if you dont feel comfortable with the spandex you could talk with the coach.

-long socks

these are not USUALLY absolutely necessary, but add to the volleyball look:) the ones with colors are always fun ! but once again, make sure that they match your team colors. and then there is just plain white ones.

-shoes

there are special shoes just for volleyball. just go to any sports store and im sure that they could help you. just a normal court shoe or running shoe is fine also.

-headbands

if you have longer hair, these come in handy ! metal clips aren't usually allowed so you mite have a problem there. and once again, you can get ones to match team colors and it will add to the spirited look.

other than that i think that you are pretty much set !

have fun and i hope you do well:)

all the best;

Answer 4

It depends really. You defintely need knee pads or you will get many brush burns. Um I sometimes where shorts but with spandex under it (i wear spandex with everything...not lying.) or just spandex it really depends what you are more comfortable in. I recommend some good court shoes so you don't hurt your ankles, but it's not really necessary. And I wear long socks to clean off the bottom of my shoes so i don't have to use my hands and i won't slip.

Answer 5

buy alot of long socks. that's pretty much what every volleyball player wears. buy a couple good pairs of spandex also. you can buy them at ***** sporting goods. i suggest the mizuno brand. also buy a good pair of knee pads that arnt to big. and you absolutely need a good pair of volleyball shoes. you only use them when you play in the gym. don't wear them outside or you will ruin the traction!
