Why are volleyball shorts so short?

Question

is that a tradition?

Answer 1

because its a LOT  easier to move around rather than having long shorts riding up and bothering u  

Answer 2

the reason volleyball shorts are so so short is because you can move easier, and swiftly, and they weigh less.. most people call them spandex and yes it is a tradition...

Answer 3

Well, that's not always the case. In my school, we refuse to wear short-shorts. But most schools choose those because it's easier for them to move quicker. It's not really a tradition, some people just choose to do it.

Answer 4

For flexibility (leg movement)

Answer 5

they are called Spandex, they are light, wick sweat, and are easy to move in, if that wasn't true no girls would wear them. They make diving easier because they don't bind with your skin, lets just say your skin goes where the spandex do.  

Answer 6

A main reason is they make you move faster and swifter. But the other reason has nothing to do with the length, but how tight they are. If they are tight, they won't hit the net when you are blocking or hitting. If they were baggy, they would touch the net, and you would get called for netting and you would loose a point.
