Sneakers

• Though outdoor volleyball can and often is played barefoot, proper footwear is essential for the indoor version. Beyond the usual fit requirements, attributes to look for in a volleyball sneaker are traction, cushioning and stability in the sole and breathability of the uppers .
  
  

Net Sets

• Volleyball requires a net and poles. Net sets include antennas that protrude above the top of the net as an extension of the boundary lines. Padding is generally used around the poles to help avoid accidents and injuries.
  
  

Balls

• Many brands of volleyballs are available, and balls intended for indoor and outdoor use differ. Outdoor volleyballs are slightly heavier than indoor balls to help counter the effects of wind.
  
  

Practice equipment

• To aid with volleyball training, there are several equipment options. Bungee blockers and block spikes are used to train players on how to recover from a block.
  
  Spike trainers are used to help with players' spike timing and to increase vertical jumping height.
  
  Many coaches use training stands to simulate spikes, and teams utilize ball carts to store and transport balls for practice drills.
  
  

Protective Equipment

• The most common forms of protective equipment in volleyball are knee pads and high socks. Both help to protect from floor burns when players dive for balls.
