Beach Volley Balls for Sand

A ball for the sand

The beach volleyball is not an indoor volley ball. It is slightly bigger, less inflated and more flexible, which makes it slower in the air and more pleasant to hit with bare forearms. Its stitched cover, rather than glued, withstands sand, moisture and sunlight. These features are suited for outdoor play, in pairs, where the wind influences every trajectory.

The Wilson from the movie and maintenance

For maintenance, check the pressure before playing, which is lower than indoors, and avoid leaving the ball in full sunlight, where heat increases the pressure.

Frequently asked questions

Which beach volley ball should I choose as a beginner?

For beginners and casual play, a stitched ball, soft to the touch, is more than enough. Competition models, like the Mikasa Beach Pro, provide a more consistent trajectory and are mainly justified for training in club settings.

What is the size of a beach volley ball?

The beach volley ball is size 5, like the indoor one, but it is slightly larger in circumference and less inflated. This lower pressure makes it slower and more pleasant to hit with bare arms.

What are the dimensions of a beach volley court?

The court measures sixteen meters by eight, on sand at least forty centimeters deep. The net is at two meters forty-three for men and two meters twenty-four for women, just like indoors.

What is the Wilson ball from the movie Cast Away?

In Cast Away, released in 2000, Tom Hanks plays a castaway who makes a Wilson volley ball his only companion, named after the brand. Wilson offers a version with a painted face for fans of the film.

How do I maintain a beach volley ball?

After the game, shake off the sand and rinse the ball with fresh water if it has been played near the sea, then let it dry in the shade. Salt and prolonged exposure to sunlight dry out the cover and wear it out prematurely.
