Volleyball gear?

Question

I'm going to be in volleyball soon, and i was wondering what kind of gear do you need, like knee pads, and all that stuff?

Answer 1

well i dont know how old you are but if your playing for school....they should provide you with all that you need....if you are younger and your playing for like a community team or something go to a fitness store and ask the clerk...she should be able to help you. The only real thing you need is knee pads....but if you want the whole enchilada go ahead and get spandex shorts too....thats what youll use in high school..good luck!

Answer 2

You will need knee pads no matter what. The coaches are expecting you to do whatever it takes to get the ball up. Also you will need to wear practice outfits. It is your choice if you want to wear spandex but if you make the team your uniform is most likely going to include spandex shorts

Optional items

Bring a water or a gatorade.

Be prepared to run and don't be afraid of diving. It is fun!

Answer 3

Required:

========

Just kneepads.

Optional

========

volleyball shoe  - better traction and stability than running shoes

a volleyball - for practicing at home, sleeping with it taped to your fingers if you are a setter ;)

Not needed

=========

You shouldn't need spandex.  Regular gym shorts are just fine.

Ankle braces - you should only wear ankle braces if you have weak ankles or recently twisted them.  Otherwise, you are weakening your normally strong ankles by relying on the strength of the brace.

Answer 4

you need knee pads, spandex, running sneakers,high socks(to wipe off your sneakers if they get dust on the bottom, if you dont you'll slide on the floor, & i would recommend getting active ankles. Active ankles are plastic braces that go on your ankle that stop you from breaking your ankle

Answer 5

You should get knee pads~ they help absorb the shock of hitting the floor for your knees. Also, shoes made for volleyball help tons.

Answer 6

Any volleyball kneepads will do, if your afraid of rolling your ankle then get an ankle brace, spandex shorts.  this is a good site for all equipment:  http://www.spikenashbar.com/
