The best ankle brace for volleyball
When it comes to volleyball ankle protection, the Ultra Zoom is the only brace that restricts excessive ankle twisting and turning to help prevent both high and low ankle injuries. The flexible soft shell absorbs your body heat to help form fit to the ankle. You don’t get used to the Ultra Zoom, it gets used to you.
These volleyball ankle braces typically last youth players two to three years of club and school play before they need replacing. It’s on your ankle in seconds, protects you for hours, and lasts for years.
When it comes to volleyball ankle braces, we only recommend our Ultra High-5 for athletes (ages 18+) with a history of multiple ankle injuries resulting in chronic ankle instability. If you’re not sure which brace is right for you, ask one of our certified athletic trainers for personalized help.
Are you a volleyball player who has recently been placed in a walking boot either for a severe sprain or to recover after a break? Our Ultra CTS is used in cases where patients are ready to transition back to activity after being in a boot and in collegiate or professional play to get athletes back in the game.
“I love Ultra Zoom because it gives me the confidence to make “crazy” blocking moves on the court with the reassurance that one misplaced step won’t result in a week off my feet. Wearing Ultra Zoom is a simple precaution that doesn’t impede my game or weaken my body – its just a no brainer to take the extra step to help prevent ankle sprains.”
Professional Volleyball Player
“Our daughter wore Active Ankles for about 5 years. We probably bought 10 braces and had at least 5 replaced by the company because they broke. We just couldn’t trust that they would hold up during a tournament. Kenzie’s coach is the one that suggested we try Ultra Ankles. She wore the same pair her entire Senior year. Ultra Ankles has earned our trust – we have been recommending them to all of her teammates and their parents (especially when they complain because they are replacing broken Active Ankles – lol). I don’t know what Kenzie’s college team is wearing – but she will be wearing Ultra Ankles. We don’t trust her ankles with anything else! Thank you for understanding volleyball players and their need for reliable ankle support!”

“Your Ultra Zoom product is perfect for the intense dynamics of Women’s Volleyball. My daughter loves your product because of the low profile compared to other ankle support products, and the comfort and stability they provide. Thank you, we always recommend your product.”

“They’ve been wonderful. We have recommended them to teammates, family, and friends. Our girls say they are comfortable, flexible, and give the right amount of support. Thank you for developing such a wonderful product, all three of our girls have remained ankle injury-free throughout their volleyball careers!”

About Volleyball Ankle Braces
No clinical studies support the idea that wearing an ankle brace will cause a knee injury.
Experts say in order to transfer enough torque from the ankle to the knee you would need to wear something like a ski boot, which offers virtually zero ankle mobility.
Yes and no. Athletes that play sports with a high incidence of ankle injuries—like volleyball—should wear preventative ankle bracing since there are many situations during a game where ankle injuries cannot be prevented regardless of ankle strength or athletic ability.
With these sports it’s not “if” the injury will occur but “when” it will occur (think coming down on another player’s foot after jumping for a block). However, in other sports with less ankle injuries, it’s not absolutely necessary to wear preventative ankle bracing.
In most circumstances when coaches restrict their players from wearing plastic ankle braces they are referring to the outdated hard plastic ankle braces that are prone to breaking or cracking. These are typically too rigid for younger players or those that are only using braces preventatively.
Newer ankle brace materials developed specifically for high performance sports are not the rigid plastic braces of the past.
Do you still have questions about volleyball ankle braces or what you need to wear after twisting your ankle? Our certified athletic trainers are available to answer specific questions about your ankle injury and history and make a personalized recommendation on which ankle brace or treatment route might be best for you.
