Knee pads and volley protective gear

Equipping a Team

In volleyball, knee pads are part of the basic equipment for every player, from beginners to professionals: they cushion impacts during dives, slides, and low receptions in defence. For a club or school, buying knee pads in pairs or in bulk allows you to equip an entire team with uniform gear, suitable for all sizes, from children to adults.

The Models

The Errea Tokyo knee pads, from the Italian brand, are available in versions with the colours of France, featuring thick foam and breathable fabric. The Mizuno VS1, with lightweight foam, are a standard in volleyball, and the Mizuno Team, sold in pairs, are suitable for clubs, available in adult and children sizes. The Wilson Helix and Helix Pro, the Asics, the Nike Essential and Streak, the adidas Elite, the McDavid Flex-Force, and the Piu Adrenalina cater to all budgets.

Choosing Wisely

Knee pads are chosen according to the circumference of the knee, measured with the leg straight, as indicated by the manufacturer: they should stay in place during dives without slipping or being tight enough to restrict circulation. The foam should cover the kneecap and the top of the tibia. Liberos and defenders, who dive often, prefer thick foam; attackers prefer thinner foam. They should be washed regularly at thirty degrees to avoid odours.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose the size of volleyball knee pads?

Measure the leg circumference around the knee, with the leg straight, and refer to the brand's size guide. The knee pad should stay in place during dives without slipping, and should not be tight enough to restrict bending.

Why buy knee pads in bulk for a club?

Ordering in bulk allows you to equip the entire team with uniform gear in all necessary sizes, from juniors to seniors. Each player thus has the same protection.

What thickness of knee pads according to position?

Liberos and receivers, who dive constantly, should choose thick foam. Attackers and middle players often prefer a thinner and lighter model, which is less restrictive during jumps.

Are volleyball knee pads sold individually or in pairs?

It depends on the models: some, like the Mizuno Team, are sold in pairs, while others are sold individually. Check this point before ordering to properly equip each player.

How to wash volleyball knee pads?

Wash them in the machine at thirty degrees, in a mesh bag, or by hand to preserve the foam. Let them air dry, away from radiators, and wash them often to avoid odours.
