What You Need For Volleyball

When you're a volleyball player, you will need equipment and certain things just for your sport. First, you practice in spandex and you play games in them too. For practice you can you any kind you want but for games you may have to wear all black, a certain brand, or if they give you a new pair thats a different color, those. Next, you need shoes. Mainly you will see people wearing Mizuno volleyball shoes. They help you not slip, jump, and stability. Then, you need jerseys. If you play for a school team they will give them to you. They usually are either short sleeve or long sleeve. Also they will have your number and school name. If you play for a club team you will have to buy them. A whole uniform package for club can cost up to $250.  Next, which is optional, ankle braces. I have ankle braces because two years ago I broke my ankle playing volleyball. Finally, kneepads. You will need these because they attempt to protect you knees when you slide on the floor and dive.
