Shin splints?: Volleyball can be a rough sport for your knees, with all those high vault jumping & landing in the sand, or concrete, and the vector forces are still going after you land on the ground. Wear good shoes with orthotic arch support to minimize the impact that goes from the foot/ankle to the knees, to provide maximum support.You can have traction otherwise from the shin to knee that hurts.Start there!
