Apparel

A typical practice outfit is a fitted, moisture-wicking shirt, athletic shorts or spandex, cushioned crew socks, kneepads and indoor volleyball shoes. Avoid loose cotton shirts that get heavy with sweat. Shop men's and women's volleyball apparel.

Lightweight, stretchy synthetic fabrics that wick sweat away from the skin are best for playing. Look for technologies like Nike Dri-FIT, Under Armour HeatGear and Iso-Chill, or Mizuno performance fabrics. They dry quickly, keep you cool and move with you through jumps and dives. Save cotton tees and fleece for warm-ups and after the game.

Mizuno is one of the most popular volleyball brands, with women's shorts like the Victory and Vortex V2, performance tees and team hoodies. Nike and Under Armour offer Dri-FIT and HeatGear training tops, compression gear and shorts, and we also carry Adidas and Jordan. The best brand is the one whose fit you like most.

Many players like compression tops, either alone or as a base layer under a jersey. They stay close to the body so nothing gets in the way of your arm swing, wick sweat and keep muscles warm. Popular options include the Under Armour HeatGear Armour Compression and the Nike Pro Dri-FIT tight-fit shirts, in short or long sleeves. If you prefer a looser feel, choose a fitted training tee instead.

Staying warm between matches helps you play your best and avoid stiff muscles at tournaments. Layer a hoodie or quarter-zip and joggers over your playing gear, like the Mizuno Volleyball Challenger Hoodie, MZ1 1/4 Zip Pullover and MZ1 Jogger, or Nike Sportswear Club Fleece. Slip into a pair of slides to rest your feet.
