pick a volleyball ballThe average mass of the ball ranges from 260 to 280 grams, its circumference should be about 66 cm with a deviation of one centimeter to the smaller or larger side. The colors of the balls are varied: white, yellow, but usually in bright colors. Professionals use balls with a combined color of white-yellow-blue at games and trainings. The bright gamut of colors of the ball allows you to clearly see its flight and clearly follow its trajectory. Therefore, it is worth choosing a ball of bright colors.
When choosing a ball, it is also important to determine where you will play, since a classic ball is used for indoor use, and for outdoor games, it is better to use the "beach" version of the ball. They differ in quality and surface density. So, for example, to play in the gym, you need a ball with a dense composite coating, synthetic leather and polyurethane coating are better suited. Genuine leather, unlike synthetics, is much softer and lighter, so balls made of it are more suitable for children and for amateurs.
For outdoor play, they try to choose a ball made of composite moisture-resistant material. Make sure the surface is firm but soft. For softening, a thin layer of fiber is often used over synthetic leather. And do not forget about the bright colors of the ball; for games at sunset, a ball that glows in the dark, for example, has a neoprene coating, is suitable.
