    Ankle braces are a great idea, even if you do not have any ankle problems. You never know when you will step on someone or something and turn your ankle. (I turned my ankle on the 3 meter line playing a dink. I passed the ball and then stepped on my team mate. Most players either step on opponents on the center line or their team mates while blocking.)

    I can not recommend any specific ankle brace. They started becoming popular after I stopped playing.

    If you have strong ankles, then you don't need them. If you keep the muscles in your ankles strong, you will have less of a chance of getting hurt. If you have had an injury, or your coach feels its best to have them, here are some sites to order from. Most work pretty much the same. There are different ones too. There are ones with a hard shell on the outside, or some that are more like a boot. you should try on both kinds before you buy a pair to see which work better for you.

    i like the ace ankle brace brand or the atom

    ankle braces are a good idea especially for middles.

    they have saved me from injury plenty of times.

    once i was warming up and jump-serving before a game and someone from the other team's stands rolled a ball underneath me and i fell and would have sprained something if not for my ankle braces

    Sometimes ankle braces are neccesary. Most people wear them to prevent injuries. I especially like Active ankle braces, they are the best.
