Can I wear leggings to a volleyball game?
I want to try out for volleyball soon for the first time, but I would rather not wear the short spandex shorts I am supposed to. They are against my religion. Am I allowed to wear leggings?

Yes, definitely can. That no problem when you play volley ball. It will make you to be more free to move during the game, because it will be safer than just wear short spandex.

My daughter plays USAV club ball, and she wears spandex that is about 4 inches longer than the other girls. They hit her mid-thigh. Other than that, they are exactly like the others. I consulted the director of the club, and he ok'ed them. He did say she could not wear leggings. We did not get special approval from our governing regional body, and no one has ever said anything. But I definitely would check to see if special approval is needed before you try anything!

Absolutely you are allowed to wear leggings! Many players in college wear them for injuries so it's definitely not out of the norm! And if anyone tries to tell you you can't explain that it's for your religion, they should be understanding about it

Both high school rules and USA Volleyball rules allow for leggings if they are similar in color to the shorts of teammates. Club volleyball which use USA Volleyball rules say that the club can send a letter requesting a waiver for a player wearing leggings during tournaments but you would have to pass tryouts for the club before they would write such a waiver letter.
