Volleyball Balls

Volleyball balls for training and league operation

What are the differences between indoor volleyball balls and beach volleyball balls?

Volleyball is played both indoors and outdoors on the sand. In indoor volleyball, two teams of six players compete against each other, in beach volleyball there are only two players per team. That is why the field in the hall is also 9 x 9 meters, in the sand only 8 x 8 meters. The net height is the same and only varies in the distinction between women, men or mixed teams.

The ball also differs: Beach volleyball balls must have a circumference of 67 cm and have a lower internal pressure. They have a water-repellent and robust surface, so that you can play even in poor weather conditions. A volleyball for the hall is a little smaller with a circumference of 65-67 cm and must weigh between 260-280 grams. The air pressure must be between 294 and 319 mbar. Both kind of balls consist of a rubber bubble, which is surrounded by an outer skin made of leather or plastic. Children and adolescents play with these balls at tournaments and in league operations, but weight-reduced methodology balls are often used in training and with beginners.

DVV certifications

A good volleyball has good flight characteristics, a pleasant surface and is durable. Ideally, it meets the requirements of FIVB or DVV and can be used as an official game ball. Since the respective national associations in Germany conclude their own country contracts for their official game ball, there are a large number of official balls for league operations in Germany. However, all official match balls must be marked with a DVV certification mark. In order to be certified by the DVV, volleyball must comply with the currently applicable FIVB rules, e.g. regarding colors and the maximum internal pressure. Depending on the league, but whether beach volleyball or indoor volleyball, there are three different test marks:

• DVV: official balls of the German Volleyball Association (DVV) for school and popular sports
• DVV 1: for league operations above the national associations (Bundesliga, Regionalliga)
• DVV 2: for league operations within a state association or lower (district league to association league)
