Women's volley shorts

Shorts: the volleyball player's cut

In volleyball, women's shorts are short and fitted. They completely free the thighs for the low, bent reception position and do not ride up during jumps. A wide, flat waistband prevents marks on the waist when you dive to the floor. The lightweight, flexible fabric dries quickly from one set to the next.

Skorts and compression shorts: the alternatives

The skort combines a skirt with an integrated undershort, appreciated during training and in other indoor sports. The very tight compression shorts can be worn alone for physical preparation or under a looser pair of shorts. Some players prefer it to the undershorts for its muscle support.

Finding the right size of shorts

The shorts should sit at the waist without a too-tight drawstring and not roll up on the thighs. Your hip measurement, checked against the chart, makes the decision. A pair that is too big rides up during dives, while a pair that is too small digs in. Young players will also find many models in junior sizes.

Errea, Hummel, Kempa: the players' shorts

Some brands stand out. Errea offers the women's short Premier in navy, black, blue, or red. Hummel provides training shorts Blaze Pro and Essential. Kempa has its women's Team shorts in a wide range of colours, from black to lemon yellow, as well as the Wave. Joma, adidas, and Erima complete the range.

Women's shorts: undershorts underneath, jersey on top

An undershort from the women's baselayers goes under the shorts. The top part of the outfit is found on the women's jerseys, and the women's socks complete the look. The women's textiles page shows all the families.

Frequently asked questions

What length of shorts for women's volleyball?

The women's volleyball shorts are short, allowing freedom of movement for reception and jumping. In matches, the shorts match those of the team. During training, choose the length that feels right for you.

Is a special short needed for beach-volleyball?

On the sand, people often wear a short or swimming bottom that dries quickly and doesn't hold onto the sand. Some shorts on the page are labelled beach-volleyball. A thick indoor short becomes heavy when wet.

How to prevent shorts from riding up during a match?

Choose a fitted cut and wear undershorts underneath. Also check the waistband, which should hold without being too tight. A short that has become loose from washing needs replacing.

Can a football short be used for women's volleyball?

They are often longer and looser. They can manage during training, but hinder the low reception position. A short designed for volleyball or indoor sports is more comfortable.

How to wash sports shorts without damaging them?

Wash them inside out, at a moderate temperature and without fabric softener. Avoid the tumble dryer, which wears out the elastic of the waistband. They dry very quickly in the open air.
