Volleyball Style:
The first thing you need to decide is whether you want an indoor or outdoor volleyball. In fact you could also choose from a pool volleyball or even a foot volleyball. The main two style of volleyball determine a few charateristics about the ball. Namely size, the materials the volleyball is made from and how the panels are glued or sewn together. This is as the two environments affect the balls in different ways. We won’t get into it too much in this post, but you can read about our best indoor volleyballs and our best outdoor/beach volleyballs in these two specialised posts.
Volleyball Size:
Volleyball sizes differ depending on where and by whom they are used by. The table below breaks down the difference below:
| Volleyball Type | Size( inches ) | Weight ( ounces ) | PSI |
| Indoor Volleyball | 25.5 – 26.5 in | 9.2 – 9.9 ounces | 4.3 – 4.6 psi |
| Youth Volleyball | 25 – 26 in | 9.2 – 9.9 ounces | 4.3 psi |
| Outdoor Volleyball | 26 – 27 in | 9.2 – 9.9 ounces | 2.5 – 3.2 psi* |
Budget:
It is important to keep budget in mind when buying a volleyball. Are you going to buy the best volleyball available to suit your needs, or are you going to go with the best volleyball within your budget. In general we have had success with going with the best available as we feel we end up saving money in the long run, however requirements for the ball need to be considered.
Brand:
You might have a favourite volleyball brand that you want to stick with and love. We think that’s great. Another consideration when choosing a volleyball is that different volleyballs tend to play slightly differently, so it is best to choose a volleyball that is similar or the same as you are going to be performing with, eg in tournaments or competitions.
