Keeping your volleyball equipment in top condition requires proper storage equipment. Whether you are storing away nets, poles, or pads, ensuring they are stored correctly will extend their lifespan and maintain their quality. Here are the best ways to store your volleyball gear using Sterling Volleyball Company products.

1. Storing Your Volleyball Net

  • Proper Folding Technique: Neatly fold the net in an accordion-style pattern to avoid tangles and creases.
  • Use a Storage Rack: Hang nets on wall-mounted racks to avoid tangling and fraying
  • Proper Care for Velcro Straps: To extend the lifespan of your Velcro straps, always fold the Velcro back onto itself to prevent tangling.

2. Storing Volleyball Poles

Volleyball poles are essential for setting up a sturdy net system. Proper storage is key to preserving their durability.

  • Adjusting Pole Correctly: When adjusting your Sterling E-Series pole, always walk it down into the resting position instead of letting the top slam down, ensuring longevity.
  • Use Wall Mounts: Store poles on a designated rack to keep them organized, prevent damage to other equipment, and avoid scratches from being left in a corner.
  • Locking Wall Mount: Protect your poles during the offseason with Sterling’s secure locking pole wall rack.

3. Storing Volleyball Pads

Safety pads help protect players and equipment, making proper storage a priority.

  • Stack Properly: Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of pads to maintain their shape and cushioning.
  • Avoid Dragging: Prevent wear and tear by lifting pole pads after use instead of dragging them, keeping the vinyl and stuffing intact.
  • Avoid Sharp Objects: Store pads away from sharp items to prevent accidental cuts and damage to the material.
