This is the shoes and other equipment that you need.
Adidas has always been my favorite brand because they are comfortable, have high ankle support (very important in volleyball), and are affordable. I liked getting these at Dick's because I could try them on and see them in person.

Mid-calf-length socks are normal for volleyball players. Some teams still have girls wear knee-high socks to tuck into their knee pads…but that is uncommon where I am from. I like these kind of socks better fir sports because my shoes do not rub!
Women's Socks | adidas US
ONLY get this style…for some reason when I played having any bigger of a knee pad than this was not cool. Also, white knee pads were in! I would check with your kids team on what color knee pads are required, but having a pair of practice knee pads, ...
Black Volleyball Knee Pads | DICK'S Sporting Goods
These are the normal lengths for volleyball spandex, but Amazon has a wide variety of other styles and lengths. I would check with your kids team on what color they will end up needing, but I promise if your kid is playing volleyball….you can never h...

Dicks has a lot of really comfortable and affordable work out shirts for all ages and sizes!
Volleyball Shirts & Tops - DICK'S Sporting Goods
Depending on what position your kid may end up playing, you can get a normal volleyball or even a training volleyball from Amazon! I was very lucky that my Mom would always pepper with me so our volleyballs got put to work! I used to use a ‘training’...

These are all of the products that I used to use when I played volleyball that always kept me cool and hydrated!
When playing sports my Mother always made sure my siblings and I had big water bottles. This started me drinking a lot of water throughout the day when I was very young! I still take a huge water jug with me everywhere I go.
Large Water Bottle
Pick up some liquid IV on your next grocery run! These taste so good and are easy to make! All you have to do is mix a packet with water. Liquid IV is also so much better for you than other “similar” products like gatorade…
Liquid I.V. : Target
Body Armor is also VERY good for you! It has a bunch of vitamins and natural ingredients! Plus they taste so good. I buy these from Target because that is where I can get these in the big packs and multipacks!
BODYARMOR - Target
These are delicious and they help keep you hydrated! These were my favorite things to snack on during or in between games!
Hi-Chew - Target
Volleyball bag
This is everything that is needed in your kid's volleyball bag at ALL TIMES!! These are just things that I always needed when I played that I either forgot…or had to ask a friend for!
Normally your kid's team will provide them with a bag, but this is another one of those things that I recommend asking. I always brought a bag of my own and normally only used ‘team’ bags at games or tournaments.
Adidas Volleyball Backpacks
The WET brush is my favorite brush brand ever! But I promise that you will always need an extra brush and a brush in your kid's bag to redo their hair at their tournament!
Wet Brush - Target
Pretty self-explanatory…
Tampons - Target
You have no idea how many times we would drive for hours to a tournament with my hair down…only to get there and realize that I forgot anything to tie my hair up with. An extra pack of hair ties or scrunchies never hurt!
Hair Ties - Target
We should all have a first aid kit either on us or near us at all times because…. you never know. But, I always used to cut my legs opening with diving for a ball so these are really good to have on hand. Band aids are also good for covering earrings...
First Aid Kits
I got this portable charger and if you have an iPhone this will be a game changer! It magnetizes to your phone and charges, so it eliminates the need to always have an annoying cord on you!
Magnetic Power Bank
A cooling towel is a must-have for anyone, not just people who play sports. I still use the cooling towel that I begged my mom to buy me outside of my softball tournament at 13 now at 21. These are such a good investment.
