Volleyball back row players!

Question

Is it fine for backrow players to wear T2 ankle supports? And since I'm a backrow player will that effect my speed?

Answer 1

It will probably slow you down....and you need the speed. you could wear them around the house or possibly when you're practicing.. but not during and actual game...

Answer 2

I play both OH and DS for my high school team and I wear Active Ankles. They won't slow you down. I wear them so I don't hurt my ankles while hitting. But if you only play back row and don't have an ankle injury I don't see why you need them. But if you really want them, I would say go ahead and get them.

Answer 3

its definatly fine, im a libero and wear active ankles all the time...there really good for preventing injuries and definatly dont reduce your speed or latteral movement, u just have to get used to them and get them to feel comfortable

***hope i helped and good luck!!!

Answer 4

I don't know, I would try them once to see and if they slow you down I wouldn't wear them cause you really need to get to the ball fast.

Answer 5

Ankle supports are almost entirely useless for backrow players, especially if you have no outstanding ankle injury.  They are for recovering players, mainly to prevent re-injury from tight net play.

I'm against them 100 percent if you're only playing backrow.

Answer 6

try them and see!!!

Answer 7

I thrive in the back row.

I have ankle problems and I don't wear a brace becuase they are too bulky for me.

But I do wear TruFit ankle support.

It's flexible and it does not bother me at all.

Answer 8

Test them out for yourself. Wear them around your house and to a couple of practice and decide whether or not they are the right thing for you.  Everyone is different; I'm sure what might not work for some else, might work for you.
