How to Install Volleyball Net Posts With Sleeves

Volleyball net systems require little effort to put up or take down. The system can be made up of two poles and a net or three poles and a net. A system with two poles will set up one volleyball net while the system with three poles will set up two regulation nets. Setting up two courts is used mostly for practice, but can sometimes be used in tournaments. You may need to have a professional installer to install you sleeves into the floor, but after that you can put up or take down you net in minutes.

      Open the sleeves on the floor. The sleeves are holes on the gym floor that have a cover to make the floor flat. Slide the metal poles into the sleeves until they lock. Make sure that the pulley system for the net is on the inside of the pole, facing the court.

      Connect the volleyball net to the pulley system on the top of each pole. The bottom of the net will have straps that should be wrapped around the volleyball poles. Using the pulley system, you can then tighten the net to the correct height. For women, the net height is 7 feet, 4 1/8 inches and for men and co-ed it is 7 feet, 11 5/8 inches.

      Place the padding and the antennas. Padding will protect the players from injury and the antenna's on the net determine if a ball is in or out of bounds as it travels across the net.
