Is this immodest?  My opinion is that it is not.


Immodest and UGLY! The tights do nothing to cover anything. And she is dressed "up" wearing high heels. Irrelevent for the topic - sport.

Coach has no proportionate reason for wearing the outfit (she's not playing), while the girls have the proportionate reason of being able to function properly during a volleyball game and not risk injury. 
Playing sports is not a "proportionate reason" to wear immodest clothing.  Women played tennis for centuries (and went swimming) in full dresses.  No one is going to get an injury from a skirt that is past the knees.

Secondly, yes, that picture of the mini-skirt with leggings is immodest...borderline mortal sin, imo.

I have no idea where everyone gets their immodesty standards from. Pius XI settled it already. If the skirt is barely below the knee, then it CANNOT be called decent. What is so complicated about this rule?!

Well, I wouldn't wear it.  I wouldn't allow my daughters, if I had any, to wear it.  It looks like black leggings with a black mini-skirt.  It's much too form-fitting.  Why not leggings beneath looser and longer (below knee) culottes?  

Well, the point is that the reason short skirts are immodest is because they expose the legs.  If the legs are not exposed but covered by thicker leggings that look almost like pants, then that doesn't violate modesty.  It's important to understand the why of immodesty.  This kind of fashion was not around when Pius XI issued his rules, with the assumption of short skirt being the exposure of the legs.  Now one can then say, well, she's wearing pants, and so it's unfeminine, but in this context I don't see it as being unfeminine.  Whether or not one considers it ugly is a different matter altogether.
