PART 1: NET SYSTEMs

1. Carbon SI-1 Volleyball Pole 

The SI-1 was the first all-carbon volleyball pole in the industry and remains the best-selling pole on the market. With over 15k poles sold across the nation, the SI-1 weighs only 19 pounds and has a lifetime performance warranty to back it up. Engineered for performance, strength, and durability, the SI-1 has been the top choice for coaches and athletic directors at every level of play for over 10 years.

2. HM50 VOLLEYBALL Net

You can’t perform at your best this season with an old net! Our HM50 Net is compatible with all Sports Imports poles and is designed to withstand the test of time. Make sure to replace your net for ultimate performance. Its lightweight, strong, flexible features make the HM50 the trusted net of choice by over 90% of men’s and women’s college programs, high schools, and volleyball clubs nationwide.

3. Crank Handle

Don’t forget the CH2 Crank Handle! The crank handle is required for use with our superior performing HDNR-net ratchet, and the crank handle is the key to achieve perfect net height with every set up.

4. Customized Pads

Show off your school spirit! Sports Imports Customized Pads are the best way to show off your team’s logo or mascot while ensuring safety, durability, and ease of use. Our in-house design team will work with you to create a masterpiece to complete the look of your net system.  Our custom pads can be seen at the NCAA Championships, USA Volleyball Junior Nationals, State Tournaments, and more!

Part 2: TRAINING EQUIPMENT

1. Coaches HITTING Box

Our coaches hitting box is a top-selling tool for coaches because both players and staff can use the CB24 to run training drills at net height – saving practice time and increasing repetitions. The CB24 gives you that extra boost to consistently hit over your volleyball net during practice. Save storage space by folding the Coaches Box when not in use – all sizes fold to just 3 inches in width! 

2. Trainer+ Setting Tool

Versatile, sleek, and mobile, the Trainer+ is the all-in-one training tool to take level up your volleyball practices. Perfect for players at all levels, the Trainer+ is adjustable in height and head frame angles, delivering countless options for setting and passing drills. The weighted base keeps the Trainer+ secure and can be used with 4 interchangeable head frames (Large Hoop, Small Hoop, Vertec Head, and U-shaped Head).
