Volleyball Equipment & Gear

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 Powr-Steel Center Standard combines endless function, style, and stability for programs that want a rock-solid volleyball system. Its 3" OD steel uprights are sleek and strong yet weigh less than 50 lbs each, and the extended outer upright design delivers exceptional stability and firm net tensioning — infrastructure built to last and backed by a lifetime limited warranty.

Key features & specs:

• Uprights: 3" OD steel inner upright; less than 50 lbs each
• Stability: Extended outer upright for ultimate stability and firm net tensioning
• Tensioning: Powr-Select net winch with cast-iron pulley wheel
• Adjustment: 7 laser-cut height stops
• Level/Model: Designed for college-level athletes; lifetime limited warranty; GP-1792

Coach's tip: Set the laser-cut height stop for the level you're playing so the net sits at exactly regulation height, and keep the cast-iron pulley and Powr-Select winch clean for smooth, firm tensioning. Store uprights in a padded cart and cap the floor sleeves when not in use to protect both the standards and the floor.

The Porter Powr-Hybrid is Porter's next-generation volleyball competition standard, blending rigid strength with remarkably light weight. Its revolutionary design combines incredibly strong carbon fiber with an aluminum extruded telescoping height adjuster, so at just 26 lbs per upright it sets up and breaks down fast while delivering the stability and safety premier facilities demand — from youth play all the way up to USAV competition.

Key features & specs:

• Construction: 3" OD carbon-fiber sleeve with an aluminum inner telescoping upright
• Weight: Just 26 lbs per upright — one of Porter's lightest systems
• Adjustment: Pin-stop height adjuster with settings from youth to USAV
• Net tensioning: Powr-Select net winch for firm, controlled tension
• Warranty/Model: 10-year limited warranty; GP-1093

Coach's tip: Use the pin-stop settings to lock in the exact net height for each level, and have two people handle setup to protect the carbon uprights. Store the standards in a padded cart and keep the winch clean and lightly lubricated so the system stays smooth and safe for years.

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.

The Porter Heavy-Duty Basketball Chain Net is the go-to net for outdoor courts, parks, and playgrounds where fabric nets don't stand a chance. Its zinc-plated steel chain shrugs off sun, rain, and constant play, delivering the satisfying "swish" of a made basket season after season with virtually no maintenance — a one-time upgrade that outlasts dozens of nylon nets.

Key features & specs:

• Material: Steel chain, zinc-plated for maximum weather and corrosion resistance
• Hardware: Includes 12 extra heavy-duty "S" hooks for attachment to any standard outdoor rim
• Durability: Built to withstand year-round outdoor exposure and heavy public use
• Note: Chain net only — rim not included
• Model: GP-00161000

Coach's tip: Hang the net with the S-hooks fully closed around the rim so they can't be pulled loose or become a snag hazard. Check the hooks periodically on high-traffic courts and pinch any that have opened up — a two-minute inspection keeps the net secure and safe for players.

The Porter Powr-Rib II Volleyball End Standards give gyms a strong, lightweight, multi-sport net system that stands up to daily program use. Built from high-strength aluminum with a patented dual-rib design, they combine easy handling with the rigidity needed to hold net tension tight across the court — a smart, versatile investment for facilities that host volleyball, badminton, and other net sports on the same floor.

Key features & specs:

• Construction: High-strength, lightweight aluminum with two centered reinforcing ribs running the full length for added system strength
• Height settings: Built-in channel lets the collar slide for infinite height settings — junior high, high school, and intramural play
• Winch: Powr-Select winch for quick, controlled net tensioning
• Floor protection: Custom-molded caps top and bottom protect finished floors
• Details: 3" diameter posts; 1-year limited warranty

Coach's tip: Mark your sport-specific height settings on the post channel so crews can convert the court quickly between sessions. Store standards in a padded cart and keep the winch mechanism clean and lightly lubricated to protect the floor sleeves and extend system life.

The Porter Spot Target Training kit puts a clear, visual reference point on the floor so athletes learn exactly where to be — every rotation, every rep. Coaches use the colored spots to mark serve-receive positions, setter targets, defensive zones, and footwork patterns, turning abstract instructions into a concrete spot players can see and feel underfoot. Ideal for volleyball, the set works just as well for basketball, agility, and multi-sport station drills.

Key features & specs

• Includes 6 spots in different colors (red, blue, purple, yellow, orange, green) for easy position coding
• 17" diameter, 2mm-thick mats sized to be seen from across the court
• Non-slip fabric top and non-skid rubber bottom that stay put on gym floors
• Lightweight and portable — roll up and move between courts or stations in seconds
• Multi-sport: position training, rotations, footwork, and target work

Usage tip: assign each color to a rotation or position so players self-correct without constant reminders. Care: spot clean only — do not machine wash — and store flat or loosely rolled to preserve the non-slip backing.
