Finding long volleyball shorts can feel like a full-court press. Many stores carry athletic shorts, but fewer stock volleyball-specific styles with a 7- to 9-inch inseam. The right pair must balance coverage, stretch, breathability, and a secure waistband—otherwise your outfit may not make the cut. Local inventory can also change faster than a volleyball rally. To help you stay ahead of the game, here are 10 Billings-area places worth checking.

*Prices below are estimated average prices for comparable long athletic or volleyball shorts, since exact styles and local availability vary. Call ahead or check each retailer’s website before making the trip.*

1. **[SCHEELS](https://www.scheels.com/)** — Located at Shiloh Crossing, SCHEELS is a strong first serve for performance apparel, including women’s and girls’ athletic shorts. Expect an average price of about **$35** for longer Nike, adidas, or Under Armour styles. Their selection can help you avoid getting caught in a clothing volley.
2. **[DICK’S Sporting Goods](https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/)** — DICK’S often carries volleyball brands and training shorts with longer inseams, typically averaging **$32**. Search for volleyball, training, or compression-layered styles if the dedicated volleyball rack comes up short. This is a good place to spike your search without breaking the bank.
3. **[Big 5 Sporting Goods](https://www.big5sportinggoods.com/)** — Big 5 is worth checking for affordable athletic shorts from brands such as Champion, adidas, and Nike, with an estimated average of **$22**. Selection may be seasonal, so your best bet is to call before setting out. Their prices can give your budget a much-needed assist.
4. **[Walmart](https://www.walmart.com/)** — Billings-area Walmart stores usually offer budget athletic shorts, including longer women’s and girls’ training options, for an average of around **$18**. Look for moisture-wicking fabric and an inseam listed around 7 inches or longer. It may not be a slam dunk every time, but the low prices are hard to set.
5. **[Target](https://www.target.com/)** — Target’s All in Motion and Champion lines commonly include longer athletic shorts priced at approximately **$25** on average. These may not be volleyball-branded, but they can work well for practices and recreational play. Target your size early because popular colors may disappear before you can dig them out.
6. **[Kohl’s](https://www.kohls.com/)** — Kohl’s frequently carries longer athletic shorts from brands such as Tek Gear, Nike, and adidas, with an estimated average price of **$28** before sales or coupons. Its online inventory can help you filter by inseam and pickup availability. With a sale, your savings may really serve you well.
7. **[T.J. Maxx](https://www.tjmaxx.com/)** — T.J. Maxx can be a worthwhile stop for discounted name-brand athletic shorts, usually averaging about **$18** when comparable styles are available. Inventory is unpredictable, so treat this as a treasure hunt rather than a guaranteed rotation. You might dig up a real bargain—or have to rally and try again.
8. **[Ross Dress for Less](https://www.rossstores.com/)** — Ross often has low-cost performance shorts from brands such as Reebok, Nike, and Champion, with an estimated average price near **$15**. Check the activewear racks for longer inseams and smooth, nonrestrictive fabric. The selection may be a little out of bounds, but the prices can keep your wallet in play.
9. **[Old Navy](https://oldnavy.gap.com/)** — Old Navy’s PowerSoft and other activewear lines sometimes include longer bike, running, or training shorts that work for volleyball, averaging about **$20**. These styles are especially useful if you want coverage without too much bulk. Their stretch fabrics can help you move from the baseline to the net without missing a beat.
10. **[Play It Again Sports—Billings](https://playitagainsports.com/locations/billings-mt)** — This resale sporting-goods store is worth checking for gently used athletic apparel and equipment, although clothing availability can vary widely. Comparable long volleyball shorts may average around **$12**, making it the most budget-friendly option on the list. You may need to dig through the rack, but finding the right pair would be a secondhand side-out.

Before buying, confirm the inseam, waistband fit, and return policy—especially for resale items. A 7- to 9-inch inseam is a useful starting point for players who want more coverage, while moisture-wicking fabric and four-way stretch can make long practices more comfortable. With a little patience, you should be able to find shorts that fit your game instead of making your game fit the shorts.
