Our Volleyball Trousers page brings together our tips for choosing your warm-up bottoms: club tracksuit trousers, trousers with side buttons that come off in a flash, fitted trousers or straight cut, to keep your legs warm before the match, on the bench and during timeouts.
Keep your legs warm until kick-off.
In volleyball, leg muscles are engaged by jumping and explosive movements. Keeping them warm before the match, during the warm-up, and on the bench for substitutes reduces the risk of strain when entering the game. The warm-up trousers are worn over the match shorts, and are part of the club's kit, often matching the jacket during travel and team presentations.

The classic tracksuit trousers, made from lightweight, durable knitted polyester, are the most common in clubs. The side-zip trousers, which open along the entire length of the leg, can be removed in seconds without taking off shoes: handy for substitutes entering the game. The fitted cut, tight at the ankle, does not hinder movement, while the straight cut, which is looser, can easily fit over knee pads.
Choose trousers with enough ease to go over knee pads, a specific requirement in volleyball. An elastic waistband with a drawstring ensures a good fit, and zipped pockets keep keys safe during travel. Clubs often order personalised sets in team colours. Wash the trousers at thirty degrees, inside out, without fabric softener, and avoid the tumble dryer, which can damage synthetic fibres.
Good bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, winter sales, French Days in spring, then summer sales and back-to-school.
The zips open along the entire length of the leg: the substitute removes them instantly, without taking off shoes, just before entering the game. They keep the muscles warm until the last second.
The fitted cut moves with you during warm-ups without hindering jumps. The straight cut, more comfortable on the bench, can easily fit over knee pads.
The hem should fall onto the shoe without dragging on the ground, where it can wear down and cause trips. A tapered or adjustable hem prevents stepping on it during warm-ups and movement.
Yes, if the trousers are wide enough at the knee, which a straight cut allows. Otherwise, put on the knee pads just before entering the court, after removing the side-zip trousers.
Wash it inside out, at a low temperature, to preserve logos and prints. Avoid the tumble dryer and never iron directly on a print, as it may melt or come off.
