Q: Several girls on my high school volleyball team play with no kneepads. I have done it a couple times and it wasn't that bad because I wear skidz, but I couldn't figure out how to dive very well. I know there's a right way, but I'm not getting it...any ideas?
A: Kneepads are always safer but the "right" way to dive with out them and even with them is by not diving with your knees but on your side or on your stomach. Kneepads are just extra safety precaution.
