Volleyballs

Popular Brands

Known brands for volleyball include Mikasa, Nivia, Vector, Tachikara, Wilson and Molten. These brands hold a solid reputation within the volleyball community, and their products are frequently employed in official competitions and tournaments on a global scale.

Material & Weight

Volleyballs are crafted from either genuine leather or synthetic leather, featuring a circumference ranging between 65 to 67 centimetres. Notably lighter than a football, the reduced weight makes it more manageable for hand strikes.

Multiple Types

There are different kinds of volleyballs such as the youth version which is slightly smaller and weighs less. The adult version is the standard and then there is a medicine ball type which is designed to help setters strengthen their fingers.

Beach volleyballs can be slightly larger than standard ones. The standards are set by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB).

Maintenance

Taking good care of your volleyball is key to keeping it in top-notch shape. Just like any other gear, this ball needs special care to ensure it stays durable and performs at its best.

Make sure to keep it clean, find it a cosy spot in a cool and dry place and don't forget to check and maintain the right pressure. These simple steps will go a long way in keeping your volleyball game strong and enjoyable.
