Pack of 5 volley balloons x5

Set of 5: the right gear for a team

Between the small size and the club allocation, the set of 5 targets a single team. It covers warm-up for two, passing drills in triangle, and reception practice, with one ball in reserve when one of them leaves the court. It's also the format for a recreational section that plays one evening a week, or for a PE teacher who wants to gradually renew their equipment.

Hall: what level of ball for your allocation

If your team plays in a league, train them with the match ball. The Molten V5M5000 is approved by the FIVB, and the V5M4500 and V5M4000 extend this range for club competition. At Mikasa, the V200W and V300W are the competition models. For a youth team, the Molten V5M2501-L and V5M2000-L, which are lighter, give time to learn the technique.

A beach-volley allocation for the sandy season

The set of 5 is also available in beach balls. Wilson offers its OPTX AVP in bright yellow or fluorescent yellow, and its ball Seul au monde, a nod to the film with Tom Hanks. Molten has the V5B5000, certified by FIVB, and the V5B1500, two beach balls designed for women's play, as well as the V5B1300 Breizh. Mikasa completes with the Beach Classic BV551C.

Getting started with new gear

Inflate each ball to the pressure marked near its valve, then check it the next day, while the cover settles. Number the balls with a marker near the valve: you can quickly identify the one that deflates. And keep the gear in a sac closed, to ensure it remains complete from one session to the next.

Other formats and good deals

Frequently asked questions

Which ball should be chosen for a recreational team?

A recreational team doesn't need the international competition ball. A session model, more forgiving of imprecise moves, will make the evenings more enjoyable. If the team plays in a recreational league with an imposed ball, go with that.

Are all balls in a set of 5 the same size?

Yes, a set includes identical balls, of the same model, size and colour. For adults, the volleyball is size 5. The lighter versions keep this size but weigh less, which is suitable for teens.

Is an approved ball needed for training?

It's not mandatory, but it's useful in competition: the match ball has a weight, a bounce, and a trajectory that players get used to. Part of the training with this model prevents surprises on match day.

How can you tell if a ball from the allocation is worn out?

A ball that deflates from one session to another often has a damaged bladder or valve. A panel that comes off or a smooth surface also alters its trajectory. Remove it from the allocation: it distorts the players' sensations.

Can a PE teacher use these sets?

Yes, as long as they choose a model suited to the students' age. In middle school, a lighter ball or a beginner ball works better than a competition ball, which is harder on the forearms. The set of 5 allows for gradual equipment renewal.
