Question

What is the point of wearing spandex in volleyball? Honestly i kind of like the way they feel whats the point?

Answer 1

I am a guy volleyball player and i wear regular gym type clothes to play...it doesnt make thaat much of a difference at all...it is more for look and intimidation....it maybe does not ride up or come down when you dive or watever..but neither do my gym  clothes...

Answer 2

Volleyball is much more about fast, split second moves than almost any other sport. Spandex help you to move that much faster in games. When you dive, they help becuase you can slide along the gym floor much better and they will not ride up either.

Answer 3

they are used so that when you trying to get the ball you dont have to keep pulling up your shorts because spandex stay in place

Answer 4

i think coaches like making our butts look big! lol ;)

Answer 5

If youve ever attended any type of volleyball camp or clinic, or even practice, you know how hot it is in the summer and how humid it can still be in the fall. When I have regular basketball shorts on they stick and are so hot! Spandex seem to be a lot more breathable, yes, they are smaller, but much cooler. Besides, when you have the wrong size shorts that are too big, when you jump, you may be overexposed lol but because spandex are durable and stretchy, they stay in place and allow better movement. I say yes to spandex.

Answer 7

1. Because they stretch well for movement

2. They are tight so they don't touch the net (and lose the point)

3. They breathe

4. Similiarly to Under Armour, they absorb sweat

Answer 8

some ppl say that its easier to move around!!

Answer 9

they wont fall off or ride up or anything, are comfortable and allow you every single kind of motion that you require to play volleyball

Answer 10

It's because the spandex elimates any shorts being to big or too small.  It also is easier, cause normally with shorts you have to roll them up all the time and fix them.  Also, with spandex it is easier/quicker to manuever around the court and jump, also easier to dive because you don't stick to the ground and your shorts don't fly up.

Answer 11

you wear spandex instead of regular gym shorts so they don't ride up or come down when you dive or sprawl
