What do i need to start playing volleyball?

Question

I am starting to play volleyball and i have no idea what stuff to buy, so can you please tell me what brand you use and post a picture, because i have no clue what to get.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You will need a pair of sneakers with good ankle support, knee pads, and your own volleyball.  Wilson is pretty good for volleyballs http://www.outdoorpros.com/images/prod/5...

And if you are new i would reccomend a thicker knee pad

Answer 2

determination and a positive attitude!!  

Answer 3

Rachel is right .... but if you have  good ankles and play with good players no support is needed and if you don't wear knee pads you will learn to fall correctly!! haha

Answer 4

Well.

aside from the things listed above, you might need ankle braces.

theyre really helpful if your mostly front row, and prevent any injury from happening if you land badly while coming down from a block or hit.

and another is these thing called skids,

theyre this finger-less glloves you put on your wrist/palm area and they help you pancake {slide for a ball and hit it with the back of your hand} and prevent blistering

those are probably better suited for a defensive player. despite what most people think about them, theydont interfere with passing, so long as your passing correctly.

Answer 5

I don't have any pictures for you, but ill try my best to explain.

Knee pads: black FRANKLIN brand or BASICS brand

Volleyball: (for practice) WILSON brand AVP approved

Shoes: comfortable running shoes

Clothes: really comfortable clothes that you can move easily in

all this stuff can be bought at sports stores.

example: academy

uhh. that's  the basic stuff you need. ask me if you need more help. :]

Answer 6

As for the Volleyball that was already covered and you can get those in like whatever color you want. Knee pads if you are a beginer i'd go with lots of padding like what was covered because it makes sliding easier.

socks- I just have long white Nike socks. There is a picture

Spandex- I just have a pair of Nike Black Spandex. There is a picture

As for shoes you can buy volleyball shoes which are comfortable but just a regular pair of comfortable shoes would work too.  Just make sure they have traction on the bottom.  I think the rest was covered.  If you need anything else just ask =]
