Volleyball bags

Backpack or duffel bag: which bag for the volleyball player

The backpack is suitable for daily trips on foot, by bike or using public transport: twenty-five to thirty-five litres is enough for a session, provided there is a separate pocket for shoes and a pouch for keys and the phone. The duffel bag, which holds forty to sixty litres, opens wide from the top and accommodates a change of clothes, a towel and sometimes a ball: it’s the format for one-day tournaments and coach travel. Convertible models, with retractable straps, can be worn on the back during the journey and carried by hand in the changing room.

Other equipment

Volleyball equipment also comes in various forms:

All equipment can be found on the equipment page.

Ball bag and team bag for the club

For collective equipment, the ball bag is essential. The mesh format, closed by a cord, is lightweight and allows the balls to dry; the reinforced canvas bag, which is stiffer, better protects them during transport and often closes with a zipper. Depending on the model, it can carry six to a dozen balls, enough to equip a full training session. Clubs also opt for matching team bags, often personalised with the club colours or the name of the player, which simplify storage in the coach and present a unified image during away matches.

Shoe pocket, materials and care of the bag

The shoe pocket, separate and ventilated through eyelets or mesh, keeps indoor soles protected from outside dust, which would reduce their grip on the floor, and keeps them away from clean clothes. The lightweight, water-repellent polyester cloth can be easily wiped clean; a reinforced bottom is more resistant to damp changing room floors. After each session, the wet outfit is removed, the bag is left open to dry, and the lining is regularly washed by hand in warm soapy water to prevent odours from setting into the fabric.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent out within 24 hours. Key events of the year follow a stable pattern: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and the return to school.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to remove the smell from a sports bag?

Empty it, wash the inside with warm water mixed with white vinegar, then leave it to dry open in the sun. Between sessions, a sachet of bicarbonate or ground coffee placed at the bottom of the bag absorbs moisture and bad smells.

Can you personalise a volleyball bag?

Many bags can be personalised with flocking or embroidery: the name of the player, number, club logo. Flocking is suitable for smooth fabrics, while embroidery lasts longer on thick materials. Check the marking area available on the bag.

Which bag for beach volleyball?

On the beach, a bag with a waterproof bottom protects the contents from wet sand, and a zipped pocket keeps phone and keys safe from the granules. Coated fabric can be easily rinsed with fresh water after the session to remove salt and sand.

Which bag for a child playing volleyball?

A twenty to twenty-five litre backpack, lightweight, with adjustable straps and a shoe pocket, is enough for a training session. It should be worn on both shoulders and should not fall below the lower back to protect the back during transport.

Is a wheeled bag useful for a volleyball club?

For a coach transporting collective equipment, a wheeled bag avoids carrying heavy loads between the car park and gym. For a player, a classic sports bag remains more practical and lighter to handle.
