Volleyball Padding

The Porter VB Net Tensioner Cover Pads shield players from the exposed net-tensioning hardware at the base of volleyball standards — one of the easy-to-overlook contact hazards on the court. Slipping protective padding over the tensioner reduces the risk of scrapes and bruises during dives and hard rallies, helping your gym meet the safety expectations of competitive play.

Key features & specs:

• Function: Protective padding that covers volleyball net tensioners
• Benefit: Cushions exposed hardware to reduce player-contact injuries
• Color: White
• Use: Pairs with volleyball net standards and tensioning systems
• Model: GP-00816004

Coach's tip: Fit the pads snugly over the tensioner before every match and check that they can't slide off during play. Inspect the padding each season for compression or tears and replace worn pads promptly, since flattened foam offers little real protection where players land near the standards.

The Porter Volleyball Pole Pad is the essential player safety component for any competition-level volleyball installation. Designed to fit the most common standard diameters used across Porter's lineup and compatible with most other brands' sleeve-type standards, it provides the padded post coverage that governing bodies require and that athletes deserve in any organized play environment.

• Fits 3-1/2" and 4-1/2" Diameter Standards – Dual-diameter compatibility makes this pad suitable for a wide range of Porter volleyball standards as well as most other brands' sleeve-type end standards, giving facility managers a single pad solution that works across different post configurations without purchasing multiple sizes
• Dense Foam Core with Vinyl Cover – Thick foam padding absorbs lateral impact from players moving aggressively near the net during digs, sets, and attacks, while the durable vinyl exterior resists tearing, scuffing, and moisture from gym floor contact and repeated seasonal use
• Hook-and-Loop Wrap-Around Attachment – Pad wraps securely around the standard and fastens with heavy-duty hook-and-loop straps, allowing straightforward installation and removal without tools — keeping the pad firmly in position during play and easy to detach for cleaning or storage
• USAV, NFHS, and NCAA Compliant – Meets all player safety padding requirements established by USA Volleyball, the National Federation of State High School Associations, and the NCAA, making it the correct padding specification for sanctioned high school, collegiate, and club competition at all levels
• Available in Multiple Colors – Offered in a range of standard colors with custom color options available, allowing facilities to match school or program color schemes and maintain a professional, cohesive court appearance throughout the competitive season
• Universal Compatibility – Wrap-around design works on any sleeve-type volleyball standard regardless of manufacturer, making it a practical upgrade or replacement pad for existing installations that need to meet current governing body safety standards
