Training and volley-ball shorts

Shorts, Bermudas, Beach Shorts: Types of Shorts

The classic match short, which sits above the knee, is still the most common option. The tight-fitting short, which is shorter, is the choice for many female players. The Bermuda short, which is longer, is great for physical sessions and outings. Beach shorts, which are looser, let sand escape and dry quickly in the sun.

Mesh and Elastic Waistband: The Construction of a Short

The vast majority of the shorts on this page are made from polyester, often featuring a mesh area for ventilation. The elastic waistband, sometimes paired with a drawstring, keeps the short in place during jumps. Some women's shorts, like the Team from Kempa, come in a wide range of colours, from black to fluorescent yellow.

Printed Shorts: Wash Inside Out and Air Dry

Wash it inside out at thirty degrees, especially if it has a print. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying, as they can damage the technical fibres and the print. Polyester air dries in just a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do female volley players wear such short shorts?

The short tight fitting short allows complete freedom of movement for jumps and defensive movements. It doesn't get caught on knee pads and won't ride up during dives. It's become the usual outfit for players, although it's not mandatory.

What short should I choose for beach-volley?

A loose and lightweight short that dries quickly and doesn't hold onto sand. Male players often prefer a longer cut, while female players go for a short or tight fitting short. Rinse it in clear water after each session.

Should the short match the colour of the jersey?

In competitions, the team's outfit must be uniform. The short can be a different colour from the jersey, but all players must wear the same one. Choosing from a complete range makes ordering easier.

Is a short with pockets practical for playing?

In matches, pockets are not useful and can be a hindrance. For physical training or travelling, a zip pocket remains practical. Team shorts often do not have them.

How do I choose the size of a women's short?

Measure your hip circumference and compare it to the brand's size guide, as the women's cut is fitted in that area. If you're between two sizes, the larger one will prevent the short from riding up. Shorts should be chosen to fit snugly to the body.
