The best practice is having both ankle tape and a high quality ankle brace on every netball training and game. At the minimum, an ankle brace should be worn.

We recommend this for all high impact sports involving contact as even the healthiest and strongest ankles can still be placed in a compromised position by chance. This is where the tape and ankle brace will save you.

Leuko Premium Plus Rigid Sports Tape is the best rigid tape. Second is Elastoplast Premium Rigid Strapping Tape. We recommend getting the 50mm variant as it will suit most ankles.

These can be purchased in bulk from the link above or individually through retailers.

Zoff Adhesive Plaster Remover works wonders when it comes to removing the tape hassle-free.

For another layer of protection, you can also use Skin Prep Protective Spray prior to applying the tape.

If you have a latex allergy, use an underwrap like Fixomull prior to taping. Simply wrap the space to be taped in Fixomull from bottom to top in a spiral direction. You can then apply rigid sports tape on top without the risk of an allergic reaction.

Use Tensospray on the skin to improve the adhesion of the tape. Shaving the area prior to taping also helps.
