Women's

Most players wear volleyball spandex or short athletic shorts, a fitted moisture-wicking tee or tank, and a supportive sports bra. Add cushioned socks, kneepads and indoor volleyball shoes to complete the outfit. Shop women's tops and bottoms.

Women's volleyball shorts usually have a 2.5 to 5 inch inseam. Short styles, like the Mizuno Apex 2.5" and Nike Pro Mid Rise 3", are the classic court look. Mid-length options, like the Mizuno Elevated 4", Under Armour Team Shorty 4 and Mizuno Victory 5", give a little more coverage. Shop all women's bottoms.

Volleyball spandex should feel snug and stay in place when you squat, dive and jump, without riding up or digging in at the waist. A wide waistband helps them stay put, and an opaque, stretchy fabric gives full coverage in a low defensive stance. If you're between sizes, check the brand's size chart, as Mizuno, Nike and Under Armour fit differently. Younger players can try the Mizuno Vortex V2 Youth Shorts.

Volleyball involves a lot of jumping, so most players choose a medium- or high-support sports bra. Options include the Nike Swoosh Medium Support, the Under Armour Armour Mid Crossback, Infinity Mid Covered and Infinity High, and the Mizuno Alpha Women's Bra. Choose a snug band that doesn't ride up during arm swings and straps that stay in place when you serve and spike.

Pick a fitted, lightweight top that wicks sweat and stays out of the way of your arm swing. Popular choices include the Mizuno Attack 3.0 Tee and Alpha Tank, the Nike Dri-FIT Legend T-Shirt, and the Under Armour HeatGear Compression and Locker 2.0 tees. Long-sleeve compression tops add warmth and help protect against floor burns. Shop all women's tops.

Yes. For warm-ups and tournament days, layer up with the Mizuno Volleyball Challenger Hoodie, MZ1 Jogger and MZ1 Fleece Jogger, or Nike Sportswear Club Fleece joggers and crewnecks. Mizuno's Full Length and 3/4 Length Tights are great for training and cool gyms. Shop all women's volleyball apparel.
