Men's and Women's Volleyball Shorts

A short for jumping

Volleyball involves lots of jumps, lunges and dives in defence. The shorts need to accommodate these movements without hindering: they are short and fitted for women, a bit longer for men, always made from a lightweight and stretchy technical fabric that dries quickly. A wide elastic waistband, sometimes with a drawstring, keeps them in place during receptions on the floor.

The France team shorts

The official shorts of the France team come in home, away and libero versions, for both male and female players. The libero, a defensive and reception specialist, wears a uniform that is a different colour from his teammates so referees can distinguish him: he cannot attack above the net or serve in international competitions. The training shorts of the Blues accompany their sessions.

Club and care

For the club, the shorts from Nike Performance and Dri-FIT, Errea Premier and Amazon, Mizuno Team and Mikasa come in various colours to create a team outfit with the shirts. The women's shorts, which are very fitted, do not ride up during jumps. A compression short or knee pads are often worn with the shorts. Technical shorts should be washed at thirty degrees, without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres, and air dried.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between men's and women's volley shorts?

Women wear a short and fitted short that does not hinder jumps or dives. Men’s shorts are a bit longer and looser, while still being lightweight and stretchy.

What size of volley short should I choose?

The shorts should fit at the waist without being tight and not ride up during lunges. If in doubt, women choose the tighter size, while men choose the next size up for more comfort.

How do you care for a technical volley short?

Wash it inside out on a gentle cycle, at a maximum of thirty degrees, and avoid the tumble dryer: heat relaxes the stretchy fabric and damages the numbers or logos printed on club shorts.

Is an under-short useful for volley?

Compression shorts underneath keep the thigh muscles supported and protect the skin during slides and dives on the court. Many female players wear a form-fitting short that serves this purpose.

What materials are used for volley shorts?

A lightweight polyester, often paired with elastane, that dries quickly and follows jumps. Technologies like Dri-FIT from Nike wick away sweat to keep the skin dry during long rallies.
