How long should i wait before playing volleyball after spraining an arm?

3 weeks: This is a vague question but in general a sprain is a minor stretch of the ligaments of a joint such as the shoulder, elbow, or wrist. It will feel near normal in 3 weeks. More serious injuries will not feel better and you should seek an orthopedic evaluation.
