Does it matter what kind of kneepads a highschool volleyball player uses?

Question: Also, does anyone know if these will fit a teen (16 years old)? http://www.amazon.com/Mikasa-812-Competition-Kneepad-Black/dp/B00091PQJ0/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1200461748&sr=8-1 Thanks!

Answer: No, it doesn't "matter". The "Mikasa" pad you picked looked good, and Mikasa IS a good brand. I would rather take my player to the store and let him/her make the decision. A 16-er could be really picky so that you don't want to waste your effort. In local store a pair of Nike Dri-Fit would cost about $17 + Tax, and a pair of Mizuno VS-1 would cost around $20-25 + tax. By the way, Mizuno seems to be more popular these days... and VS-1 is better than T-1 based on my personal experience. http://www.amazon.com/Mizuno-VS-1-Volleyball-Kneepads/dp/B0009SQBSI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1200507052&sr=8-2
