Footwear: Volleyball

When purchasing new indoor volleyball shoes, one of your main priorities should be to look for a shoe that provides solid lateral stability to support your foot when sprinting side to side. It is important to have strong support and enough cushioning to absorb the repeated shock of jumping up and down.

Volleyball: Fun and Competitve

Volleyball: Pronunciation: \ˈvä-lē-ˌbȯl\
a game played by volleying an inflated ball over a net

Volleyball was created and first played in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It is now popular in Brazil, Europe, Russia, and several other countries. It is an Olympic team sport in which two teams of six players, separated by a large net, try to score points on the other team's court. Volleyball is played by children all over the world and has competitive boys and girls national teams.

MomsTeam's goal is to provide comprehensive information on volleyball: advice on the equipment needed and how to buy it, a primer on the rules of the sport, and videos and advice from experts, parents, and manufacturers of volleyball gear.

But to do that we are going to need your help. If you are a parent of a child who plays or has played volleyball, we hope you will share what you have learned with other MomsTeam parents. Please consider writing a blog, contributing an article, posting on and/or hosting a Forum, or becoming a volleyball expert. If you know of someone who used to play or coach volleyball who has knowledge to share, ask him or her to join. Together we can make MomsTeam a true community of sports parents!
