Optional for the legs, but practical depending on the person.
Mizuno's kneepads are among the comfiest and most common knee pads out there. I have personally used a pair for two years and I highly recommend getting some yourself.
Mizuno Kneepads
Knee problems shouldn't stop you from playing! One of the best brands out there is Baurfeind. I have used it a couple of times when I had knee problems and it feels incredible, but it does quite a lot. If the cost isn't a problem it definitely is wor...
Bauerfeind Knee Brace
Cheaper alternatives to the more expensive knee braces could be found on Amazon. I have a couple, obviously as a student I don't have a lot of money, and they last fairly long and have pretty good quality.

This is for the people who have problems with tight calves, or maybe tight achilles. These sleeves help a lot when jumping and running. I have used them once because I cramped mid game, but they made me feel almost nothing and I continued to play for...
Calf Compression Sleeves
Leg sleeves are a nice accessory, but probably one of the least practical ones. Of course though it totally depends on the person. For me it feels nice when my entire leg is compressed. When I jump it feels as though my entire leg is super strong, bu...
Full Leg Sleeve
If you want the leg sleeve, but also want a pad McDavid has you covered. I used these a lot when I was younger and it did it's job. I felt the compression and I was protected by the pad. Overall I highly recommend.

The title says it all.
My absolute favorite sleeve ever is the Mizuno Arm Sleeve. I believe the more recent ones have tech that compresses the sleeve more when heated or in contact with sweat. What does it do? For me it helps me warm-up faster and I often feel like my ball...
Volleyball Arm Sleeves
If you want the compression plus an added protection on the elbows try the Mcdavid padded arm sleeve. They last pretty long and get the job done.

Shoe Brands
I have my own recommendations for volleyball shoes I wear and what I think is the best, so you can check them on my account, but here I will give you some brands I have loved using for volleyball
Li-Ning has been my main shoe for the past year and I have absolutely no complaints and I probably will use them as my main shoe for years to come. They feel comfortable, but also extremely durable. I highly recommend.
Li-Ning Shoes
You can't make a list with shoes in it an exclude Nike. As of recently they have come out with pretty decent shoes. I have used Nike as my second shoe source and they are pretty reliable. Some last pretty long and feel great.
Nike Basketball Shoes
Mizuno is my favorite volleyball brand for shoes. The cushion feels incredible and the overall tech used in the shoe are usually reliable. Most of the brands I use are basketball centric, but this brand is one of the brands that can compete with the ...
Volleyball | Mizuno Europe
As of recently ASICS has come out with some incredible models for their volleyball shoes. I highly recommend as much of their shoes are pretty budget friendly and last long.

Equipment
Extra gear for warm-up, training, and recovery
A resistance band is one of the best equipment for warm-up because any part of the body can use them. I have a lot with different weight levels to help me reach my absolute peak
Resistance Band
Sprains happen on your hands and leg so having a roll of athletic tape on hand is always helpful.
Athletic Tape
The massage gun is my favorite equipment for recovery because it is portable, easy to use, and makes my muscles feel nice when I need them the most. This is a must have!
