[quote=Anonymous]As a male coach for girls volleyball the uniform (just made the previous post), the differences in uniforms are mostly for ease of movement vs fashion. Ever notice hoops players have to hike up their shorts to get low when on D? That wasn’t the case when they wore “Stocktons” but long shorts became the “in” thing to wear. Volleyball requires being in a constant athletic position both on offense and defense, plus tighter fit = smoother diving. There is a fashion aspect on the girls side too. The shorts could be a little lower (and there are longer short options if they want them). The dive slide is either done on knee pads, an angled roll, or like a Superman hold on the abs and top of hips. No boy would want to play in tight spandex, but they do wear them under their loose shorts to keep things in place! So I would argue that the girls uniforms are closer to maximizing movement and boys choose baggy over the speedo look (as would 95% of us)[/quote]
