Volleyball Equipment

Set your volleyball net to regulation height in seconds with the Porter Fair-Height Net Chain. Instead of fumbling with a tape measure, you simply hook the chain to the net and read the marked height — ensuring a consistent, fair net setup every time, whether you're prepping for a middle school match or a varsity tournament.

Key features & specs:

• Measures the distance from the top of the net tape to the playing surface
• Top hook fastens directly to the net for quick, hands-free reading
• Orange markers represent four competition net-height standards: 6'6", 7'0", 7'4-1/8", and 7'11-5/8"
• Ensures a consistent, fair net height with every setup
• Compact and lightweight — fits in any equipment bag

A must-have for volleyball coaches, officials, and gym managers who set up courts regularly. Hang the chain at the center of the net where height is measured, adjust the net until the correct marker meets the floor, and store the chain with your net equipment so it's always on hand for fast, accurate setups.

The Gill NCAA Outdoor Implement Certification Kit is a self-contained, official-friendly system that lets meet officials verify every outdoor throwing implement against NCAA specifications on-site. It covers the full slate of outdoor throws, so a program can certify implements in-house and keep the meet moving without waiting on an outside lab, while protecting athletes from disqualification over an out-of-spec implement.

Key features & specs:

• Gauges for 1kg and 2kg discuses
• Gauges for 4kg and 16 lb shot put
• Gauges for 4kg and 16 lb hammer (larger gauge base for added stability)
• Covers all javelin competitions; includes a digital scale
• Laser-cut gauges and labels for accuracy; self-contained wheeled carrying case

Coach's tip: Make certification part of your pre-meet checklist so every implement is checked, weighed, and labeled before competition. Keep the gauges in the wheeled case to protect their accuracy, and verify the scale periodically against a known reference weight so your readings stay reliable.

The Porter Free Standing Judges Stand elevates the referee above the net for a clear, regulation view of competition volleyball, all in a portable design that rolls into place and folds away when the match is over. The 48"-tall platform puts the official's head above the top of the net as competition rules require, giving them the vantage point to make accurate calls at the net and on the lines throughout the match.

Key features & specs:

• 48"-tall platform elevates the referee's head above the net
• Platform and ladder fold compactly against the front upright for transport and storage
• Two wheels for easy one-person repositioning
• Front upright and ladder support fitted with non-marking rubber floor pads
• Durable black powder-coat frame with a gray padded platform
• Frame padding to meet competition requirements sold separately

Coach's tip: Set the stand on a level surface and lock it against the net standard before the official climbs up. Add the competition frame padding for sanctioned play, and fold the unit flat for compact, damage-free storage between matches.

The Porter Ultimate Outdoor Volleyball Anchor Kit for Sand Installation gives beach and sand-court facilities a secure, permanent foundation for the Porter Ultimate outdoor volleyball standards. Sand courts present a unique anchoring challenge, and this kit is engineered specifically for that environment — providing the deep, stable footing needed to keep standards upright and net tension consistent through hard competitive play.

Key features & specs

• Anodized aluminum 4" x 4" ground sleeve for corrosion resistance in wet, sandy conditions
• Extended 3'4" total length designed specifically for sand-court depth
• Removeable zinc cover plate protects the sleeve when standards are stored
• Installs with a concrete footing for a permanent, competition-grade anchor
• Sold individually; a post-extension anchor kit (4' powder-coated steel extenders, with 2' x 6' lumber spreaders required but not included) allows anchoring in sand without concrete footings
• Compatible with the Porter Ultimate outdoor volleyball standards (net, post pads, and standards sold separately)

Install tip: set the sleeves with the cover plates flush to grade so they sit safely below play level, and confirm spacing against your net length before pouring footings. Keep the zinc cover plates in place between sessions to keep sand out, and rinse the sleeves periodically to prevent buildup.

The Porter Powr-Sand Ground Sleeve provides a clean, semi-permanent in-ground mount for outdoor volleyball posts, letting you remove the standards when they're not in use. Its removable inner sleeve keeps sand, water, and debris from building up, so the system stays serviceable season after season — the smart foundation for any outdoor or sand court.

Key features & specs:

• Type: Aluminum plate-mount outdoor ground sleeve for removable posts
• Inner sleeve: Removable yellow aluminum sleeve prevents buildup of sand, water, and debris
• Cover: Includes a vinyl-covered aluminum cap for when the system isn't in use
• Hardware: Stainless steel anchor bolts and zinc hardware for connection to a poured concrete footing
• Sold as/Model: Sold individually; GP-3080

Coach's tip: Set the sleeves in properly poured concrete footings at the correct court width before your season starts. Pull the removable inner sleeve periodically to clear out sand and water, and cap the sleeves whenever posts are out to keep debris and moisture from collecting.

The Porter Powr-Sand Judge's Stand gives outdoor and sand volleyball events a stable, portable referee platform that meets competition requirements. Its 48" platform elevates the official's head above the net, and the whole unit folds compactly for easy transport and storage — everything a tournament director needs to officiate matches properly on sand or grass.

Key features & specs:

• Platform: 48" tall platform to elevate the referee above the net per competition rules
• Portability: Platform and ladder fold flat against the front upright; equipped with two wheels for transport
• Sand-ready: Includes a support plate to prevent sinking on sand courts; non-marking rubber floor pads
• Finish: Durable black powder-coat frame with gray padded platform
• Note/Model: Frame padding to meet competition requirements sold separately; GP-3070

Coach's tip: Add the competition frame padding (sold separately) before sanctioned play for referee safety. On sand, seat the support plate firmly so the stand stays level, and fold it down for compact, protected storage between events.

The Porter Powr-Select Volleyball Net Antennas set a new standard for quick, tool-free setup. Their unique molded plastic clamps use a screw-type mechanism to secure to the top and bottom net hems from floor level — no chair, stepladder, or tools required — so a single official can rig regulation antennas in seconds and get the match started.

Key features & specs:

• Attachment: Molded plastic clamps with a screw-type mechanism; secure from the floor without tools or a ladder
• Construction: 6' single-unit design with no loose parts to lose
• Antenna: 3/8" diameter, high-tensile-strength extruded fiberglass
• Compliance: Meets NFHS, NCAA, FIVB, and USAV competition requirements
• Model: GP-2297

Coach's tip: Position the antennas directly over the sidelines so the vertical plane is accurate for line calls, and hand-tighten the clamps snugly on both hems so they can't shift during rallies. Store the one-piece antennas flat to prevent bowing over time.

The Porter Outdoor Volleyball Net is built for the demands of sand and grass play, combining high visibility with weather-tough materials. Its bright yellow vinyl binding and Kevlar top cable stand up to sun and outdoor stress, while three nylon tensioning straps pull the net drum-tight for true, competition-quality play at the beach, park, or backyard court.

Key features & specs:

• Dimensions: 27' 10" x 3'3"
• Visibility/Top cable: High-visibility yellow vinyl with a tough, durable Kevlar top cable
• Netting: 4" square black polyester knotless netting
• Bands: 3" wide top and bottom bands
• Tensioning/Model: Three nylon tensioning straps for a taut fit; GP-2256

Coach's tip: Tension the top cable first, then snug the three straps evenly so the net stays square under outdoor conditions. Take the net down and store it dry between sessions — even weather-tough materials last longer out of constant sun and moisture.

The Porter Power Volleyball Net is a competition-grade net that meets USAV, NCAA, and NFHS requirements for sanctioned match play. Built from tough 4" square black nylon mesh with a double-stitched, vinyl-coated hem, it pairs with a galvanized aircraft-cable top and a spring-loaded instant tensioning device to deliver the tight, true net profile officials and players expect at the varsity and club level.

Key features & specs:

• Net: 32' x 39" with 4" square, #24 black nylon mesh
• Hem: 2" wide vinyl-coated polyester, double-stitched around the entire perimeter
• Top cable: 44' long galvanized aircraft cable with nylon coating
• Tensioning: Spring-loaded instant net tensioning device with pull handle for the bottom rope
• Compliance/Model: Meets USAV, NCAA, and NFHS requirements; compatible with 851 Economy standards; GP-02255000

Coach's tip: Tension the top cable first, then set the bottom rope with the spring-loaded handle for a crisp, regulation net line. Release tension after matches to extend the life of the cable and mesh, and inspect the hem stitching periodically so the net stays competition-ready.

The Porter Intramural Volleyball Net is a durable, budget-friendly net built for the high-traffic demands of physical education and intramural programs. Its heavy black polyester mesh is treated to last through both indoor and outdoor use, and the reinforced top binding with a long poly rope makes stringing the net tight quick and dependable — exactly what a busy PE department needs day after day.

Key features & specs:

• Mesh: Heavy black polyester, treated for longer life indoors or outdoors
• Top binding: Reinforced binding for durability under repeated tensioning
• Rope: 45' long black poly rope with 3' long tie cords for net tension
• Best for: Physical education and intramural activities
• Model: GP-02254000

Coach's tip: Tension the net from both ends using the tie cords so the top stays level and taut through class rotations. Let the net dry before storage after outdoor use to prevent mildew, and keep a spare rope on hand so a frayed line never cancels a session.

The Porter Powr VB Transport System solves the storage-and-setup headache of running multiple volleyball courts. This heavy-duty cart holds the complete equipment for three full competition courts — standards, protective pads, nets, judge's stand, and balls — and rolls smoothly from the gym to the storage room, so a single crew can strike and store an entire tournament's worth of gear fast.

Key features & specs:

• Capacity: Stores three full competition volleyball courts' worth of equipment
• Holds: Standards, protective pads, nets, judge's stand, and balls
• Mobility: Rolls easily on 3-1/2" diameter swivel casters
• Build: Heavy-duty, purpose-designed transport frame with proper storage hardware
• Model: GP-00956100

Coach's tip: Load the heaviest items low and centered so the cart rolls stably and won't tip on thresholds. Keep the swivel casters clean and rolling freely, and assign a consistent loading layout so crews can strike three courts and account for every piece at a glance.

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 Economy Net Antenna with Boundary Markers gives volleyball programs a rule-compliant way to define the playable area over the net. The antennas mark the sidelines vertically so officials and players can judge in-and-out contacts cleanly, while the attached boundary markers wrap the net for clear visual reference — everything a coach needs to run matches and scrimmages by the book.

Key features & specs:

• Antenna: 3/8" diameter, high-tensile-strength fiberglass; 6' long and separates into two pieces for compact storage
• Boundary markers: 2" wide durable white woven polyester
• Attachment: Hook-and-loop strips secure the markers to the net; sleeves hold the antennas
• Use: Defines the vertical sideline plane for match and practice play
• Model: GP-00546000

Coach's tip: Position the antennas directly above the sidelines so the vertical plane is accurate for line calls. Break the two-piece antennas down for storage to prevent bending, and check the hook-and-loop strips periodically so the markers stay firmly attached during play.
