Mizuno Women's Apex 2.5" Short The Apex 2.5 Inch Volleyball Short is a game changer. This volleyball short was designed for you to focus on your game, not fidgeting with your shorts. The inseam in the back is slightly longer than the front, which allows you to stay in true defensive ready position without your short riding up. To compliment that defensive ready position, the wide, non-side-digging waistband is slightly higher in the back! The soft, breathable fabric is held together by side seams which are angled, encouraging movement. The flat front gives you a seamless look and confidence.
