Volleyball Balls FAQs
What are volleyballs made of?
Volleyballs are usually made with a leather or synthetic leather outer cover, a reinforced lining to help the ball hold its shape, and an inner rubber or latex bladder to keep the air in. This combination of materials helps the ball stay durable and maintain its bounce, even after being hit with strong serves, spikes, and digs.
What’s the difference between indoor and outdoor volleyballs?
Indoor volleyball balls are generally smoother and a bit heavier, which suits the faster pace of play on hardwood courts. Outdoor or beach volleyballs, on the other hand, often have a textured surface and are lighter in weight, giving you better grip and control in windy or sandy conditions.
Depending on where you're playing, you might also pair your volleyball with volleyball shoes designed to provide different types of traction for indoor or outdoor courts.
Are there special volleyballs for training?
Yes, there are training volleyballs designed to help players improve their technique. These often come in lighter weights or with softer covers to reduce impact on the arms while learning the basics. Some coaches also use weighted balls for strength-building drills.
When practicing regularly, it’s a good idea to invest in protective gear, like knee pads , to protect your joints and volleyball training aids to get the most out of every session.
Do Team Town Sports volleyballs come pre-inflated?
Most volleyballs come partially inflated, but you'll often need to top them up before playing. This gives you the flexibility to adjust the air pressure to your preference or to meet league requirements. If the ball arrives deflated, just use a sports pump with a needle attachment to inflate it. Proper inflation is key to avoiding issues like warped shapes and ensures consistent bounce and feel.
What is the recommended air pressure for a volleyball?
The ideal air pressure typically ranges from 4.26 to 4.61 psi, though this can vary slightly by brand. If the ball is underinflated, it may feel heavy and won’t react correctly off your hands. On the other hand, an overinflated ball could become too hard and prone to damage. Be sure to check the manufacturer's guidelines and use a pressure gauge to get it just right.
