Look at the Texas/Stanford match highlights as one example. I'm hoping the the culture is changing in this direction and look forward to comments about the topic.<br />I remember playing in buns in the 80s and know that warm ups were on as long as possible before the match and back on right after.

There is practicality behind the tight uniforms. Loose shorts and jerseys raise the possibility of unintended illegal contact in the net and under the net. Long tight sleeves take the sting off when players pass and dig. Loose sleeves would never work. woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442783490313087792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260203891028367770.post-31884774308974345572015-12-17T05:09:57.674-08:002015-12-17T05:09:57.674-08:00For whatever reason, women and girls clothing has ...For whatever reason, women and girls clothing has always been geared toward showing skin and the body. That's just fashion. Women and girls wear short-shorts in the summer time while men and boys were long baggy shorts. Women were tight jeans and tops with emphasis on the rear-end and chest while men generally wear looser jeans with t-shirts. It's only natural that this trend crosses over into sports. With the exception of basketball and maybe soccer, every other sport women and girls play requires less clothing than their male counterparts: tennis, gymnastics, volleyball, field hockey, track . . . name it. Don't think it's a conspiracy with a bunch of guys in some dark room discussing how to sexualize your daughters or sisters while they sports. Just the way the world works right now. Accept it or don't.

There is NO, NONE, NADA reason for the current garments being used. It is sexually explicit display of adolescent girls and it is wrong. I see it in the dance world for girls, gymnastics and volleyball. Look what happened in swimming when longer suits were proven to be faster - they outlawed the suits. It's a crime that we put these kids through this process.<br /><br />I encourage all teams and coaches to use appropriate clothing for their young athletes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260203891028367770.post-27905041015845521112014-12-11T03:39:03.291-08:002014-12-11T03:39:03.291-08:00Coach, with all due respect I've never seen a ...Coach, with all due respect I've never seen a gymnastic team stop somewhere on the way home from a tournament wearing just a leotard. They cover up with sweats. The volleyball team should too. If girls short length has to be fingertip length in school, this should apply to all. As a school bus driver it was off-putting to see the volleyball team jogging one morning outside the school in what looked like their underwear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125880655861280008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260203891028367770.post-13441805258157126612014-11-16T18:54:56.452-08:002014-11-16T18:54:56.452-08:00Our team is requiring the Sofie Shorts instead of ...Our team is requiring the Sofie Shorts instead of the Spandex. This is due to the school rules prohibiting spandex in school and the players are performing just as well in the shorts as the Spandex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
