What size volleyball uniform should I buy?

In working with thousands of teams around the country, the hardest question we face is "What size should I wear?" Without seeing the actual players on your team, this is an extremely difficult question to answer. Our experience tells us the following:

• Our jerseys are cut "in the middle" - not on the small side, not on the big side. Our recommendation is that whatever t-shirt size your player feels comfortable wearing is the same size jersey he/she should purchase. If you are looking to get more than one season out of the jerseys, perhaps consider selecting the next size. Remember: it is always more comfortable to wear a jersey that is a little big versus a jersey that is any part too small.

• Our shorts are cut with a graduated 6" inseam, which simply means our shorts are cut longer. A drawstring and an elastic waistband helps reconcile those arguments between parent and child about "what's cool" and "what fits."

• Socks are probably the most straightforward: Find your shoe size and select your sock size. Whew.

Further below, you'll also find Totally Volleyball's Handy Dandy Volleyball Uniform Sizing Guide. This grid has been compiled with years of sales histories and hundreds of thousands of volleyball uniforms on the fields. While it is only a guide, it is a good one.  You'll have to account for the "peanut" on your volleyball team or the "big kid", but using the guide has helped steer buyers just like you in the right direction as you face the same question from parents: "What size should I buy?"

 

Volleyball Jersey Size	YS	YM	YL	AS	AM	AL	AXL	AXXL
Garment measurement	30"-32"	34"-36”	38”-40"	40"-42”	43"-45”	46"-48”	48"-50”	52"-54"

Please note: the measurements above are garment measurements, not chest measurements. Depending on personal preference, a player will normally have between 2" to 6" inches of room between a chest measurement and the garment measurement. Since we provide you with a printed product, there will be slight variances in each sizing - this is completely normal. This range is due to different operators sewing the garments as well as slight shrinkage that occurs when we heat dry the ink during the silk screen printing of your jerseys.
