Mikasa for Christmas: balloons and beach in 24 hours

V400W, V430W and V330W-L: balloons for young hands

The Mikasa balloons on this page are aimed primarily at young people. The V400W and V430W are designed for beginners and school volley: balloons that are easier to control for a child learning the bump and pass without hurting their forearms, with a size indicated on each card. The V330W-L, a lighter version, retains size 5 but weighs less: it's suitable for teens and players who are returning. Ask the club which ball the child's category uses.

Frequently asked questions

What size of volley ball should I get for a child?

Young kids often play with a size 4 ball or a lighter ball, which is easier to control. At adolescence, they move up to size 5, which is the adult size. The simplest solution is to ask the coach what ball is used in their category.

Can an indoor ball be used for beach-volley?

For hitting the ball on the beach for fun, it does the job. However, it's smaller and more inflated than a sand ball, and the wet sand quickly damages its surface. For regular play, get a beach ball.

How do you inflate a new volley ball?

Moisten the needle before inserting it into the valve, then inflate to the pressure indicated near the valve, without exceeding it. If it's over-inflated, it hurts the forearms, and if it's too soft, it messes up the passes.

Should I gift the ball inflated or deflated?

Deflated, it fits more easily into a package and the surprise remains intact. Include a pump and needle so it can be used right away on Christmas morning.
