Official Characteristics
There are three types of volleyballs: - Standard indoor volleyball
- Youth indoor volleyball
- Beach volleyball
All volleyball types are completely round and consist of six panels of leather (synthetic or genuine) wrapped around a bladder. Each panel consists of three sections or rows. A standard (adult, indoor) volleyball may be solid white or a combination of three different easily distinguishable colors, of which a limited amount are officially allowed. A youth indoor volleyball is slightly smaller than a standard volleyball to accommodate children's use. A beach volleyball is slightly softer (lower internal pressure) and a bit larger than an indoor volleyball, and is brightly colored. Volleyball characteristics | Circumference
