Mizuno Practice Platforms

The Mizuno Practice Platforms are a smart new addition to the volleyball training market, giving players padded protection exactly where the ball and the floor take their toll — the forearms. Worn on the forearms during defensive work, these platforms cushion the impact of hard-driven balls and the friction of diving, sprawling, and pancake digs on the court. They are a versatile tool for beginners just learning floor defense and for experienced players who want extra protection during aggressive defensive sequences.

Key features & specs

• Padded forearm platforms designed for volleyball defense
• Multi-use wear: position the padding on the inner forearm to protect against ball impact, or on the lateral forearm to protect against floor contact
• Right- and left-specific fit for a contoured, secure feel on each arm
• Stretch fabric sleeve holds the padding in place through dynamic movement
• Subtle graphic design on the padding
• Suitable for all levels, from first-time defenders to seasoned liberos and defensive specialists

Coach's tip: Use the inner-forearm position during serve-receive and passing drills to build confidence on hard serves, and switch to the lateral position for dig-and-dive floor work. To care for them, hand wash in cool water, avoid bleach, and air dry so the stretch fabric and padding keep their shape and support season after season.
