Why Do You Need Knee Pads?

The purpose of knee pads is to protect meniscus and the patella, or kneecap, while playing volleyball. Knee pads also guard the knee against scrapes and burns which could happen during volleyball trainings or matches.

What Do They Do?

  1. Reduce Injuries

During volleyball training you will do many movements, one of them is diving for a volleyball, which can cause a knee injury. Knee pads can keep you from damaging your patella, surrounding muscles and ligaments. As reported in the “American Journal of Epidemiology,” a 2005 study of nearly 20,000 student sport seasons revealed a 56 percent decrease in knee injuries in students who wore knee pads in sports such as cheerleading, volleyball, basketball and softball.

  1. Support Knee


  1. Increase Performance

Volleyball players can be hesitant to perform at full capacity without protective knee pads. In volleyball, diving to your knees to hit a low ball is standard. However, the hard floor of indoor courts can damage your knees if you hit them with your full body weight at full speed without knee pads.
