Best Beach Volleyball Ball

I get a lot of people wanting to know the best beach volleyball ball to use. You do not want to take your indoor volleyball ball to the beach to use as an outdoor ball.

What are the differences between an indoor ball and a beach volleyball ball?

There are many differences between indoor and outdoor balls. The outdoor beach volleyball is lighter, softer, less inflated and larger. A regulation indoor ball will be hard, small and heavy compared to an official beach volley ball.

The best volleyball ball to use for beach is the Official Wilson AVP beach volleyball ball. This is the white and yellow ball that is outlined in black and says Official Game Ball on it. But Wilson also makes a replica ball that looks exactly like the Official ball but it is made of the worst material on earth. It fills like the bladder of the Replica ball is made of bricks because it does not bounce. Never buy the Replica game ball, it is way cheaper ($15 to $25 bucks) but it is one of the worst balls ever made. Make sure that your ball says OFFICIAL on it. The official ball on the other hand is the best ball ever made and it is what is used by the professional beach volleyball players in the AVP.

Where to Buy Beach Volleyballs

One huge problem that you will run into if you don’t live in California is where to buy beach volleyballs. The best place to get them is at a Costco in California but if you live outside of the sunny state of CA you can find them online. Most stores are not going to carry the Official Wilson beach volleyball. Buying a volleyball like the AVP volleyball used by the professionals can be a little harder than you might expect. The reason local stores will not have the ball is because there is a ball known as the replica ball which looks just like the real deal but is very cheaply made and is of very poor quality. This cheap replica ball costs about a third of the price of the real ball. So many people purchase the ball thinking that it is the Official ball used by professional beach volleyball players. After one pass you can tell that this ball is NOT a good ball.

Save yourself the money and the bruised arms from playing with the dreaded replica ball and buy a volleyball online. You can usually find them cheaper online than a local store would have charged in the first place. You can buy them here:

Many people ask which beach volleyball should I buy? And if you are playing sand volleyball there is only one ball that is approved for any and all tournament and that’s the official Wilson beach volleyball. If you are going to buy a beach volleyball don’t go the cheap route because those balls are cheap for a reason, trust me. The wilson ball is the best beach volleyball on the market. The best outdoor volleyball balls are not the cheap $15 dollar ones that you find at your local sporting goods store. They most likely won’t even carry the official wilson balls but they will for sure have the horrible replica wilson beach volleyball that looks exactly the same and fools people to waste money on it day after day. Do not buy the Wilson avp replica game ball.
It is cheaper but it’s one of the worst balls I have ever played with, it feels like a rock covered in a centimeter of cloth and doesn’t bounce. You want the Wilson AVP Official Game Ball. To order it click the picture and it will take you to Amazon where you can buy the ball.
