Description
Overview
The Mikasa Kids VS170W Volleyball is a lightweight training ball made for children who are new to volleyball. It is built to kids volleyball standards, weighing 160–180 g with a circumference of 64.5–66.5 cm, and is FIVB Inspected. The soft EVA foam outer and enriched softness construction mean forearm passes and serves hurt less, which keeps beginners in the game.
It is a school training ball rather than a competition ball. If you need a full-size ball for senior teams, look at the wider volleyballs range or the Mikasa range.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a match ball?
No. It is a lightweight school training ball for children. It is FIVB Inspected, but it is sized and weighted to the kids standard rather than the adult standard.
Why choose a foam-covered ball for beginners?
The soft EVA foam outer softens contact on the forearms, so new players are more willing to get under the ball and pass properly.
Can a school get quantity pricing?
Yes. Quantity pricing applies on many balls; add the number you need and request a quote for your school.
