Indoor Volleyball Net Systems For Schools And Recreation Centers

by Terry Torres

Volleyball is a fun and competitive sport played by children, teens, and adults in school gyms and recreation centers nationwide. If you are a school coach or recreation center professional, you can install a complete volleyball net system that can be assembled, disassembled, and adjusted as needed. Here are some options that you can consider when purchasing an indoor volleyball net system for your school gym or recreation center:   

Volleyball Poles:  Volleyball poles are available in aluminum and steel. Aluminum volleyball poles are strong and lightweight and are suitable for recreational players. Steel volleyball poles are the strongest volleyball poles and are best for teens and adult volleyball competitors. Volleyball poles can be inserted into metal floor sockets that are attached to structural floor joists for strength and durability. These poles and can be disassembled easily when the school gym or recreation center must be used for other competitions or events. The metal floor sockets are completely flat when not in use to allow for foot traffic and other athletic activities. 

Volleyball Nets:  Volleyball nets hang from a top metal cable that spans the width of the court. These nets attach to both volleyball poles at two to four places. Volleyball nets are attached to a volleyball pole with ratchets or turnbuckles that can be adjusted to keep the volleyball net taut and able to withstand the force of a volleyball in motion. For competitions, a volleyball net can be fitted with a removable sleeve that covers the top cable of the net and can be customized with the name and logo of your school or recreation center. 

Volleyball Pole Safety Pads:  To protect your volleyball players from injury, volleyball pole safety pads can be installed around both upright volleyball poles to cushion them in case a player falls or runs into them. These pads can be attached with velcro tabs for ease of assembly or disassembly. Volleyball safety pads can be customized with your school or organization name and logo and are available in many colors.   

Volleyball Referee Stands:  Stands for referees and game officials are available with a steel platform that attaches to a volleyball pole on either side of the volleyball court. Safety bars enclose the official stand to give a referee or game official a secure handhold if game action comes close to the stand. Volleyball official stands are available with locking wheels for easy setup and removal. 

Indoor volleyball net systems are available with professional quality or backyard recreational quality components. Whether you leave your volleyball net system up all year or take it down for other activities, you can find a suitable net system for your gym or recreation center at a local or online sporting equipment center.
