Beach balls are not used in any recognized sports, but are very often used for recreation, such as in an informal game of volleyball or water polo. They are much less expensive than balls used in the official versions of these sports, but also much less durable, since, being soft-plastic inflatable products, they can be punctured, rendering the ball useless once a leak develops and the ball cannot hold air.
