Volleyball is a highly popular women's sport played recreationally and competitively by a wide variety of ages. Game play requires agility, power, flexibility, and stamina to succeed. Although injury rate is lower compared to other team sports, athletes are still predisposed to acute injuries of the ankle and overuse injuries of the shoulder and knee. Injury patterns differ based on player subspecialty and playing surface. Most injuries are amenable to nonoperative treatment and require little time removed from play.
