Why do we have to wear booty shorts in volleyball?

Question

its so werid its like we are playing in our underwear why do us volleyball players have to wear thoes shorts?

Answer 1

for comfort and boys like to watch girls in their short shorts but im sure your coach doesnt make you wear them for that reason!

Answer 2

I know that most of the girls I coach prefer them because of their comfort and the fact that they can't slide down lol Because most of the like them, all of them have to wear them. There is a rule where I play that every players uniform must match, including the shorts (this is probably true in a lot of places, but I'm only aware of my area). Although, I have seen some girls that don't have a good understanding of size and they may as well be wearing underwear.

Answer 3

I play volleyball and have been for 8 years, Its deff. not to get people to watch! It's because they are easier to move around in and you dont have to worry about keeping them up its you choice how short or long you want to wear them!

Answer 4

they are comfy! and let you move around easier

Answer 5

Spanky pants. [:

Well, I play varisity for my school and i'm on a 17-1 club team and i can say spandex are amazing.

At my school we're not allowed to wear spandex and we hafta wear shorts. I was totally chill with it and just wore spandex under them. Some of the other girls that had played club before me were always complaining that it was so much easier to play in spankys. I never really understood why, till i started in club.

It was a transformation! i could dive without getting stuck, and i could move so much faster. They really do allow you to move so much easier and they do make your butt look s**y!

So coming from someone who has to switch between shorts and spankys....

The spankys rule!

Answer 6

I PLAY VOLLEYBALL TO AND I CAN TELL YOU NOW ITS NOT TO GET PPL TO WATCH I THINK HTEY ARE MORE COMFORTABLE AND IF U SLIDE OR SOMIN THEN NOTHIN WILL BE SHOWIN IF U NO WUT I MEAN AND THEY ALSO MAKE ME COOLER

Answer 7

THEY MAKE SPANDEX WITH LONGER INSEAMS SO IT DEPENDS ON HAOW LONG YOU LIKE THEM...THE REASON FOR SPANDEX IS SO WHEN YOU DIVE OR SLIDE YOUR SHORTS DONT RIDE UP OR SLIDE OFF LIKE SOCCER OR BASKETBALL SHORTS DO...

Answer 8

beacuse it helps us be able to bend easier and move faster.

Answer 9

they look hot.

Answer 10

if you're not wearing spandex or w/e it would suck if you had to dive or something and your shorts came off or slid down lol

Answer 11

ugh i hate spandex.

especially when it rolls up cuz your doing a diving drill and it looks like your wearing bikini bottoms when your done.

and it's always going up your butt! theres no avoiding it!

lol.

Answer 12

The reason that volleyball players wear spandex is that, at least in high school volleyball and club volleyball, if you or your hair or any item of your uniform touches the net the other team gets a point. That's why a lot of teams have spandex tops too, it's so the clothes don't touch the net when the players are hitting or blocking or setting so you don't just give the other team free points.

Answer 13

Its more comfortable to move around in them.

Answer 14

I'm sorry ladies, but i wear them cause i have a really nice a*s amd i love the way it looks in them.  I'm not a great diver, so i just enjoy my behind in them :)  (But they actually are easier to move in and lighter than other shorts, especially in sand volleyball (for this bekinis are great too :)))

Answer 15

so people will watch the sport

Answer 16

bcuz ur diving all over the floor so if u didnt wear tight bootie shorts ppl be seeing ur underwear also easier to run bend and play the sport in

Answer 17

It is for agility and diving purposes..who wants their shorts in a bunch after a sweet dig?

Answer 18

You can move better and slide better. We don't get stuck when we dive.

Answer 19

Kathy gets 10 points for best answer. There is no other reason to watch it.

Answer 20

wearing the spandex is comfortable and it makes it easier to move around.  plus they dont move as much, or ride down or anything so you dont have to worry about pulling them back up or having them fall down.  its also a lot easier to slide on the court wearing spandex than it would be wearing regular shorts

Answer 21

I'm guessing you are referring to spandex?

Anyways you play in spandex because they allow you to dig and spread your legs without ripping, and also keep you out of the net easier.

Answer 22

they are called spandex and we wear them so we can move around better & while sliding on the floor they won't fall off

Answer 23

um yea it's to move around and stuff, it's more comfortable. have you seen spotterz?? they have really awesome ones!! i got some zebra spandex last month!! lol!! :))

Answer 24

you can move around so much easier in spandex! cuz when ur running all over the court 4 volleyballs, u feel more free to run... it makes u move quicker... im a vollyball player and I know what spandex is like... it totally helps. just trust the vball girls and love life!!! woohoo

Answer 25

its spandex...

Answer 26

it makes it easier for us to run around in...trust..

when you're wearing spandex its comfortable and since we're running aroudn the court all the time they are just easier to move in other than basketball shorts and stuff.

Answer 27

I my self play volleyball, your supposed to wear spandex booty shorts or just booty shorts so that you dont get too hot. Also its easier to move around in and such... and its not to get ppl to watch it.

Answer 28

well, duh! even though they show alot, they really help you to move around!

Answer 29

Here's the thing, girls do not want to think that they are wearing spandex solely for looks. I don't want to believe that girls are wearing spandex solely for looks either.

But, to be honest I cannot think of a good reason for why they are worn. Men wear shorts, and do not have ANY problems with diving or mobility. If there was any great benefit, the guys would want to wear spandex uniforms too.

I think that many girls are in denial because they want to think there is a good reason for why they must wear spandex.

But, there is no good reason.
