Volleyball is great! The only way to really stop those ugly brown patches that you get on your arms from passing is to practice more and more. The more you practice with the ball and your forearms, the more your arms will get used to them. So keep on practicing and they will go away eventually. Basically, the bruising is just a temporary reaction from your body from passing a hard volleyball.

Well welcome 2 the world of Volleyball. When you first join it will hurt alot. After a while it won't hurt so bad. That's why other ppl are acting like it doesn't hurt, b/c they're probably use 2 it. Volleyball isn't as easy as some ppl think it is. You think it hurts when you hit the ball, just try and get hit in the face w/ 1. Talk about painful! Especially if you have braces that can make ur lip bleed, if that happens.

You might want to try to where a long sleeve t-shirt. It'll help take the sting off the ball. There really is no way of ignoring the pains of the bruises other than mind over matter.

There is no need to go to the gym everyday. I go only 3 times a week and I get in a good workout. However, if you feel the need to go to the gym often, then consider eating a low carb snack before your workout. That should give you the correct energy that you need. Avoid those energy drinks or so called health drinks. Those are just full of sugar.

Long sleeved t-shirts are a big help.
Other than that, the pain will go away as you play. When you aren't used to it, and someone with any force hits the ball, it can hurt.

I would put lotion on your arms right now and then next time in class make sure that you don't swing when you are hitting the ball. Although you might thing that the ball is going harder and different things, its not! Try not to swing if that is your case.

I would suggest buying some new balls for the gym...because the only reason why your arms are getting bruised is because of the poor quality of the balls

it should just go away after a while. i play v-ball and whenever i stop playing v-ball for a while then start up again my arms always get really red then they bruise then i just dont notice it. so i should stop hurting soon and if hurts that bad u should just quit.

I would suggest putting some cocoa butter on those bruises. It will take time but soon the pain will go away.

Put bandage in your hands and wrist,make sure you have knee pads for when you dive for the ball.if you can,serve over handed with your hand open. do lots of setting.Practice at home so your body can get used to the pain.use cocoa butter for bruises and scars,when bleeding use vaseline.or you could also use neosporin,but mostly cocoa butter.When your sore bathe in epsom salt.
