How to order volleyball uniforms that move with players: jersey and short cuts, fabrics, libero rules, numbering and sizing for men's, women's and youth teams.
Volleyball means constant jumping, diving and quick lateral moves, so uniforms have to stay in place and never restrict movement. Here is what to decide when ordering custom volleyball uniforms.
1. Jersey cut
Choose from sleeveless, cap-sleeve or short-sleeve jerseys. A closer fit stops fabric getting in the way at the net. Men's, women's and youth cuts are different patterns, so list them separately on your order.
2. Shorts
Women's teams often wear fitted spandex shorts; men's teams usually wear looser shorts with a shorter inseam than basketball shorts. Either way, a secure waistband matters because players dive and roll.
3. Fabric
Lightweight, moisture-wicking polyester keeps players cool indoors. Stretch blends help with fitted cuts. Compare the options in our sportswear fabric guide.
4. The libero jersey
Most leagues require the libero to wear a jersey in a contrasting colour from the rest of the team. Order libero jerseys in the same design with a different colourway, and check your league's rules for exact requirements.
5. Numbers and names
Numbers go on the front and back and must contrast clearly with the jersey colour. Check league rules on number size before you finalise the design.
6. Printing
Sublimation suits volleyball well: full-colour designs with no added weight and nothing to crack or peel. See sublimation vs screen printing for a comparison.
7. Sizing and quantities
Collect sizes with our team sizing guide, add a couple of spares, and read our MOQ guide to understand pricing by quantity. Warm-up tops and hoodies can be added from our fitness wear range.
