Q: How do I know if my elbow pad fits correctly?

You’ll know that your elbow pad fits correctly based on the following. First, it should not be uncomfortable to wear your elbow pads for long periods of time. Second, when playing volleyball (or any sport) the elbow pads should not roll down your arms; they should stay snugly in place without causing discomfort. If your elbow pads aren’t meeting these requirements, they are likely the wrong size and you should determine if you need to go up or down in size for a more proper fit.
