Volleyball Uniforms
for Volleyball Club and Volleyball Teams
Volleyball uniform selection is a thankless task.
Those in charge of buying volleyball uniforms either have
demonstrated an outstanding fashion sense or, more likely, were
absent when team duties were distributed. Regardless, purchase your
volleyball uniform carefully because you will be judged on your
taste.
How To Select And Purchase Volleyball Team and Club Uniforms
Select A Uniform Supplier. Sporting goods stores frequently provide
uniform services. If not, search the Internet for suppliers. Make
sure the supplier can arrange an appropriate delivery deadline prior
to the start of your season. Ask for a price guarantee and any
bulk-order discounts that apply.
Team Colors: Bring a sample of the team's colors to your supplier,
if you have them. Make sure the supplier can match the colors. Know
the colors of all other teams in your league to avoid conflicts.
Material Selection: Determine the type of material you want in your
uniform. The newer "dry" material wicks away sweat and perspiration
and generally is not as cheap as regular material, but is more
comfortable for volleyball players. Seek out sources of potential
problems. Rub your fingers along any seams that touch the skin to
check for potential irritation.
Create Consensus: Inform all team members of your assigned task. Let
them know that you need and expect their input.
Sizing: Check the fit. Some players will want the size that they
think they want to be, not the size that they are. Make sure the
uniforms are not too tight or too loose.
Organize: Create a form (your supplier may be able to provide one
that lists the player's name and number, shirt and pant sizes, and
style preferences. Include color choices if you haven't picked them
already. Distribute to all team members to fill out.
Uniform Care: Follow directions for laundering. Because they are not
easily replaceable, it is especially important to make sure colors
from team uniform shorts do not run or fade.
Ordering Time Frame: Set a deadline for returning both form and
money. You'll need to make final decisions on colors and styles,
subject to availability.
