Volleyball Must-Haves for Games, Practices, and Tournaments
1. Backpack
It's essential to keep all your volleyball equipment when on the go!
2. Water bottle
Be sure to pack multiple since you’ll be playing all day long! Go a step further and be eco-friendly by finding a reusable water bottle to refill. Consider bringing along Gatorade /Bio Steel / Powerade powder mix for some added electrolytes!
3. Shoes / Socks / Knee Pads
– Don’t forget to pack an extra pair of tennis shoes or slides (sandals) so you’re not wearing your court shoes outside of the gym! Keep that traction fresh for the best reaction during gameplay. Extra dry socks are always a plus to have to change out between games or if you get caught in a rainstorm.
4. Headphones
Give yourself the chance to tune out the competition and chaos of everything going on around the gym. Think ahead and make a playlist that will get you pumped for your next match!
5. Snacks
Keeping yourself fueled up throughout the day is very important! Some easy things to carry around include bananas, granola, protein bars, + PB&J.
6. Rollers / Jump rope / Lacrosse or Tennis ball
Great tools to make sure you’re warmed up properly and ready for your next game!
7. Jerseys, Warm-ups, Extra Spandex
The most essential thing to pack (especially to avoid getting yelled at by the coach) is your uniform or your practice gear! Make sure to have your home and away jersey, warm-ups, spandex, and extra undergarments.
8. Braces / Wrap
Help keep yourself free from injuries and be pro-active!
