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.

But we're not talking tennis here, rather, volleyball, where the girls often slide on their knees (thus the knee pads).  To land on you knees with a skirt between the knees and the floor would create a significant risk of injury.

Some of you would reject 90% of the Catholic moral theology manuals written before Vatican II ... because you know better.

You can do what you want yourselves, but the problem I have is when you constantly presume to impute sin to others.  You need to mind your own business, and let others works out their consciences with their confessors ... who have actually had real training in moral theology.

Pius XI gave the standard. Pius XII said ladies should not compromise the standard under the pretext of playing sports.

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.
Ridiculous.  Skirts are meant to hide women's forms, as men are not attracted to ONLY exposed legs, but to women's curves.  The example you posted, that mini-skirt was not only short but tight.  It was a good 6 inches above the knee.  If a woman was walking or sitting down, she would be very immodest.  But the main problem is the tightness of the skirt.

To play volleyball in this way is manly.  You can play fun, recreational, even competitive volleyball without diving and sliding on your knees.  It is not a right for women to play in such a way, and such actions are masculine if they cannot be played properly in a skirt.
