Textiles and accessories for volley Nike
Keeping the hair off your face during a whole set, wiping away sweat before serving: the Nike gear from Direct-Volley is designed for these little match routines, with Flex Classic headbands, Swoosh wristbands, women's shorts, and a hooded training jacket.
Headbands Nike Flex Classic and Premier
Headbands make up the majority of the page. The Flex Classic, sold in packs of various widths, keep hair in place and absorb sweat from the forehead. The Premier headbands, which tie, allow for adjustable tension at the back of the head. They come in many colours, from black and white to pink and blue.
Swoosh Sponge Wristbands: for drying hands
In volleyball, sweaty hands make passing less accurate. The Swoosh sponge wristbands, sold in pairs, can be wiped on the forehead or palm between rallies. The double-width model rises higher on the arm.
Women’s Nike Performance Shorts and Dri-FIT Form Jacket
On the clothing side, the women’s Performance shorts come in royal blue, black, red, and navy, perfect for matching a team's colours. Black with a hood, the Dri-FIT Form jacket relies on the brand's Dri-FIT technology, which wicks away sweat during warm-up.
Gloves, Beanies, and Neck Warmers
The page also features gloves, beanies, and neck warmers. They are mainly used outside the gym, for travel, pre-run warm-ups, or outdoor tournaments when it's chilly. A neck warmer can be slipped into the jacket pocket and protects the throat between matches when the air is brisk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you play an official match with a headband?
Yes, headbands and wristbands are commonly worn in competition. They shouldn't interfere with the game or have any hard parts. If in doubt, check with your referee or league.
What width of headband should I choose?
A thin headband mainly holds back hair, while a wide headband better absorbs sweat from the forehead. The Flex Classic packs mix several widths for testing. Choose based on your hairstyle and how much you sweat.
How to wash a sponge wristband?
Put it in the washing machine with your gear after each training session, without using too high a heat. Avoid fabric softener, as it reduces absorbency. Let it air dry.
Are women’s Nike shorts suitable for volleyball?
The Performance shorts are lightweight team shorts, suitable for indoor play. Check the length on the product page, as female volleyball players often prefer a short cut that leaves the thighs free. The colours allow you to match them with a club's colours.
Why wear a sponge wristband in volleyball?
It prevents sweat from dripping onto the hands, which helps maintain touch quality during passing. It can also be used to wipe the forehead without leaving the court. It's a lightweight accessory that doesn’t impede movement.
