The first layer, closest to the body.
The baselayer
The baselayer, or technical underwear, is worn closest to the body, under the jersey or instead of shorts. Its role is to wicks away sweat, to limit friction, and to provide light muscle support. In volleyball, players often wear a fitted tight, like the Mizuno Team, instead of baggy shorts: it allows complete freedom of movement and doesn't hinder diving.

The tight Mizuno
The Mizuno Team tight, from the well-known Japanese brand in volleyball, is made from a stretchy and breathable fabric that fits the thigh and dries quickly. Its short and fitted cut supports jumping and low defensive movements. A wide and flat waistband ensures support without constricting. It coordinates with the team jersey and comes in several colours for clubs.
Base layers and compression
The long-sleeved base layer, worn under the jersey, keeps the arms warm in cold gyms and protects the forearms during digs. The tight and compression leggings worn under the shorts support the thigh muscles during repeated jumps. You choose your fitted baselayers, without excessive compression, and wash them at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, which reduces moisture wicking.

Frequently asked questions
Why do female volleyball players wear tights instead of shorts?
The fitted tight doesn't ride up and doesn't interfere with jumps, low receptions, or diving. It allows complete freedom of movement and prevents the fabric from getting caught in knee pads.
What length of tight should be chosen for volleyball?
The short tight, mid-thigh, is the most commonly worn in competition for its freedom of movement. A slightly longer model offers more protection for the skin during slides on the court and reassures players who dive often.
When should you wear a long-sleeved base layer in volley?
During warm-ups or in cold gyms, it keeps the muscles warm. It also protects the forearms during repeated digs, which many receivers appreciate during training.
How to choose the size of a volley tight?
It should be fitted without constricting: the waistband should hold without marking, and the legs should not ride up when squatting. Between two sizes, the smaller one offers better support, while the larger one provides more comfort over time.
What material should be preferred for technical volleyball underwear?
A blend of polyester and elastane wicks moisture, dries quickly, and follows every movement. Avoid cotton, which remains damp and sticks to the skin after long exchanges.
