Volleyball Clip Ideas: What to Put on Team Clips (Cute + Easy Ideas) -

Looking for volleyball clip ideas? These cute, funny, and easy ideas are perfect for team bonding, tournaments, and gifts. Fun, easy DIY craft + printable motivational sayings to encourage players during tournaments.

Even though we just wrapped up our second year of club volleyball, the idea of volleyball spirit clips was totally new to me. And now? I’m obsessed. (According to a sporty friend of mine, these crafty clothespins were apparently a thing for various sports even back when I was a teen… you know, when the dinosaurs roamed… but we never did anything like that on the Poms Squad, so I had no idea!)

These fun little DIY clothespin crafts are such a cute way to show team spirit, encourage others, and create some tournament day memories. The girls love making them between games, and it’s become a whole thing during tournaments. They try to secretly clip players from other teams when no one’s looking. The reactions are the best—laughs, squeals, or totally pretending they didn’t notice even though they 100% did.

I found this cute video on TikTok that shows you volleyball clip ideas in action:

As you can see, it’s not just the players, either. Security gets clipped. Moms and dads get clipped. Coaches get clipped. Younger siblings? They want in too. I’ve seen boys proudly wearing their spirit clips on their hat bills and little girls light up when they discover someone clipped one onto their ponytail!

💡 Volleyball Clip Ideas to Get You Started

Use markers and decorations to match your team colors
Add the team name to the bottom of the clips
Write encouraging messages like “You got this!” or “Great serve!”
Use washi tape, pom poms, glitter, rhinestones (or even puff paint if you want to get fancy and have time to make at home beforehand!). We even got a clip with a bright orange feather!

💬 Final Thoughts

This simple little idea added so much fun and connection to our season. Whether you’re new to club volleyball or a seasoned team parent, I highly recommend giving spirit clips a try.
