how to
put on knee pads for volleyball
Volleyball Equipment starts off with the basic; a net, ball
and some shoes. From there, the equipment can become more and more complex, but
it really depends on how much you have to spend and how often you play volleyball
in the first place. There are many objects which are used to train up a
volleyball player, but are not necessarily needed as such. Having the ability
to play on a court is the most important part of equipment, whether this is a
spot on the beach where you can set a net up, or a court which has the right
poles to be set up. Indoor Volleyball usually has steel poles which can be
adjusted according to the height of the net that you are playing on. A net is
attached between the two poles with sticks along the side that mark the outside
of the net. If you touch the poles with yourself or the ball or the ball goes
outside of the poles, then you will most likely lose the point.
Other than that, you can pretty much play volleyball. The
only other items needed are worn by the player and may include Volleyball
Shoes, Knee protection, Ankle Supports and normally shorts and a shirt. Each of
these is designed to help with making the process of playing volleyball much
easier. Like any equipment, Volleyball Equipment has had a lot of research put
into it to ensure it is high quality. Volleyball Shoes are designed so that
they are extremely light weight, and very grippy on wooden surfaces. As a
result, they tend to wear out rapidly when used on harder surfaces such as
concrete and asphalt. To minimize the weight of the shoes, they don't go above
the ankles. This leaves a potential weak spot in the body, where you can injure
yourself very easily.
To counter this, most professionals will wear ankle braces,
which basically go over the heel and up over the ankle. These stop the ankle
from rolling sideways, which in turn stops any potential damage. There is
nothing worse than rolling an ankle in volleyball game, as it is painful and
will most likely stop you from playing again for a while. Other Volleyball
Equipment includes knee pads and shorts and shoes. Knee pads are very useful
for most players who spend a lot of time diving and getting the ball. This is
particularly more important for those who play defense in the sport, and as
such you will often find the taller hitters not wearing knee pads. For those
who play defense, diving onto the floor is a common occurrence, and having some
protection on the knees minimizes the damage and pain that you can cause
yourself. Wearing light, breathable equipment which is easy to move in makes
playing Volleyball so much easier and more fun. It's vital to wear the right
Volleyball equipment, mainly from a safety perspective.
