Indoor volleyballs, beach volleyballs, and training balls

Indoor volleyballs are characterized by a smooth surface made of high-quality synthetic or genuine leather and are designed for precise playing behavior under constant indoor conditions. Beach volleyballs have a water-repellent, textured outer skin and are slightly softer to meet the demands of sand. Training balls offer a robust construction for frequent use and are often available in different sizes for adults and youth – ideal for clubs, schools, and ambitious recreational players.

The right ball size for every age

For adults and youth aged about 14 and up, the official ball size 5 with a circumference of 65 to 67 cm and a weight of 260 to 280 grams is prescribed. For younger players, school sports, and youth volleyball divisions, special training balls in sizes 4 and 3 are available, which are lighter and thus promote technique learning and the fun of the game. Choosing the right ball size is crucial for age-appropriate athletic development and a positive playing experience.

Quality, safety & product selection

When buying a volleyball, it's worth looking at material quality, seam construction, and compliance with official standards such as FIVB certification or CE marking. High-quality synthetic leather surfaces offer a balanced ratio of durability and feel, while leather balls enable particularly precise ball behavior. For school and youth balls, a soft outer skin and a dimensionally stable bladder should also be ensured so that the ball remains reliable for a long time even under intensive use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which volleyball is suitable for beginners?▾
For beginners and recreational players, softer training balls with good grip are ideal, as they make ball control easier and reduce the risk of injury. Models from Mikasa and Molten in the entry-level segment offer a good compromise between durability and feel.
What is the difference between indoor and beach volleyballs?▾
Indoor volleyballs are optimized for indoor play and are usually made of leather or high-quality synthetic leather with a smooth surface. Beach volleyballs have a rougher, water-repellent outer skin and are slightly softer to withstand sandy conditions. They also differ slightly in circumference and weight from indoor balls.
What size should a volleyball be?▾
The official size for adults and youths aged about 14 and up is size 5 with a circumference of 65 to 67 cm. For younger players and school sports, there are sizes 4 and 3 as well as special youth training balls that are lighter, thus supporting technique learning.
How do I inflate a volleyball properly?▾
A volleyball should be inflated with a suitable ball needle pump set to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer – usually between 0.30 and 0.325 bar. Moisten the needle slightly before insertion, inflate slowly, and check the pressure regularly with a pressure gauge to avoid damage to the bladder or seams.
Which volleyball is suitable for school lessons?▾
For school lessons, durable training balls with good grip and a soft feel are recommended. Models with a robust synthetic leather surface and dimensionally stable bladder withstand frequent use and lower the inhibition threshold for beginners with a pleasant playing feel.
How do I care for a volleyball properly?▾
After play, the ball should be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and stored at room temperature. Direct sunlight, extreme cold, and moisture can damage the material. After training, slightly release the air pressure to protect the bladder, and do not misuse the ball as a seat.
What does the term official match ball mean?▾
An official match ball is approved for competition by a sports federation such as the FIVB or the respective national association. These balls undergo strict tests for weight, circumference, bounce behavior, and air pressure. Mikasa and Molten are currently the leading brands for official match balls at the international level.
Which brands are particularly recommendable for volleyballs?▾
Mikasa and Molten dominate international professional sports and stand for the highest quality. Wilson, Select, and Baden offer excellent alternatives for ambitious amateurs and the school sector. Derbystar and Gala are established in German-speaking regions and convince with good value for money. The choice depends on the area of use, playing level, and budget.
