Volley Balls
Volleyballs are a type of ball used in the sport of volleyball. They are spherical in shape and typically measure between 65 and 67 centimeters in circumference. Volleyballs are made up of an inner bladder, which is typically made of rubber, and an outer covering, which is usually made of synthetic leather or composite leather. The outer covering is designed to be durable and resistant to wear and tear, while the inner bladder is designed to provide the ball with its shape and bounce. Volleyballs are typically inflated to a pressure of between 0.30 and 0.325 kilograms per square centimeter, which is equivalent to 4.3 to 4.6 pounds per square inch. This level of inflation provides the ball with a good balance between its ability to bounce and its ability to be controlled by the players. Volleyballs are also designed to be lightweight, typically weighing between 260 and 280 grams, which allows them to be easily handled and passed between players. The design of the volleyball is regulated by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), which sets specific standards for the size, weight, and inflation of the ball. These standards ensure that all volleyballs used in official competitions are consistent in their performance and playability.
