Why do Woman's Volleyball players wear bikinis?

Question

Why do woman volleyball players wear skimpy bikinis to play. They are constantly picking wedgies. Wouldn't boy shorts and a sports bra be ideal?

Answer 1

no that will ruin it then

Answer 2

Keeps the sand out of their shorts/tops.

Doesn't slow down their movements.

Answer 3

You know what it is, the television... some people are less interested in the sport than in... something else...

Answer 4

s*x appeal. The men want to see hot chicks in bikinis.

It brings in the ratings.

(if it really was for movement or to keep out sand, why would guys wear big shorts and tee shirts, or why wouldn't they wear like you said, a sports bra and spandex like in indoor volleyball)

Answer 5

It's called beach volleyball so they wear their bathing suits as if they were playing  on a beach. it also is very good for jump and hitting cause you have nothing restraining you.

Answer 6

it's simple..

beaches = women wearing bikinis..

besides, it attracts the crowd!

Answer 7

my dad asked that, the guys wear their bathing suits too (sometimes with a shirt)

I would agree with you, and I don't think there is a rule against it, but it's whatever is comfortable to the player, same thing with the hats and shades.

Baggy shorts might feel akward, and get sand in them.

Answer 8

I was wondering the same thing.  Like their bottoms are too small for them.

Same with female gymnasts - it really looks like they get wedgies a lot.  

Answer 9

easy movement and they are tight and small so sand doesnt go in places it shouldnt haha
