There are Two Types of Volleyballs
Indoor Volleyballs-designed for indoor play such as club volleyball or high school volleyball
Indoor volleyballs are more often than not solid white in coloration (but they can sometimes be bi-colored or tri-colored) and come in two different sizes
- Youth Size- smaller and lighter for children to easily manipulate
- Standard Size- Professional size and weight for adults
Beach volleyballs- Beach volleyballs are designed for outdoor and beach and sand volleyball
Beach volleyballs may be brightly colored and slightly larger than standard indoor volleyballs. Beach volleyballs also tend to have a rougher external texture and are kept at a lower pressure of inflation than that of indoor volleyballs.
