Fluorescent Court Lines and Decorations

Fluorescent Tape 
Creating bright glowing boundaries, court borders, and decorations is easy with fluorescent tape.  Blacklights will make fluorescent tape glow brightly.  Most tapes marketed as neon or fluorescent will glow brightly under a blacklight.  These tapes are ubiquitous and easy to find at any hardware, home, or craft store.  You don't need specialty blacklight tape so pick up a couple of rolls and make your volleyball court glow.  For sand volleyball courts, use fluorescent cones or neon string to mark boundaries and adorn the net.

If you are concerned about leaving a residue on your court, you can use a special type of tape called Gaffers Tape.  This tape can be found in a variety of fluorescent colors that glow great under a blacklight.  This is designed for stage use so that the tape is removable without residue.  You can find gaffers tape at a variety of online vendors.
