This is just a way to have our young girls flaunt their bodies in front of the opposite sex and call it fashionable and more comfortable. This is rubbish. Long spandex shorts for bike riding could be just as fashionable and be just as comfortable and thus reducing all of the digging!
She went to volleyball camp. The coach told them the have to wear spandex shorts. She bought a pair of nike XL shorts. The short had no loose fabric at all.

Are the shorts all made for kindergarten players?
If you google search woman's volleyball image. Alot of the pictures are of their back side bent over. Some of them with major wedgies. You can tell me it's all about function all you want.
Just don't FORCE girl volleyball players to wear clothes that treat them as sex object instead of athletes. Your argument for why boys and men can't wear spandex shorts is counter-intuitive. Many male athletes already wear compression shorts underneath their regular athletic gear because they provide support and ventilation without limiting mobility.

Now, my daughter is about to start playing indoor VB for her college, and she has no choice but wear the spandex.
This despite the fact that bun huggers are compulsory for track events, in which she also competes, in the summer. She has been told it's not possible 'because no other college teams wear them. If that logic had been applied in the s the sport would never have switched away from the bun huggers. So why can't some teams choose them now? I don't like the answer. Sports clothing has changed and geared to fit the athlete.
I am very sorry to hear that sex appeal might not be the answer. I shall, in mourning, relegate myself to watching women's beach volleyball. It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it. Read through 58 of the best quotes for volleyball players, coaches, and fans.
