Is this a "beach" volleyball? (softer/different than indoor volleyballs)

I purchased this because of the connection to the movie. However limited my experience with volleyballs might be, I suppose I would describe this as "softer" than other volleyballs. It is NOT a novelty ball like Nerf, however.

Hi Martha : The ball appears to be made of a vinyl or plastic which is some thicker than the tiny beach balls you see in stores. I have had for several years and use for soccer with my Dingy we play in the harbor and out at the nearby Islands. I use my shop vac to fill on reverse goes pretty quick---Dewayne

I use mine at the in-laws pool and it works great. With that said, I imagine its quite a bit noisier at the beach. If you're looking to rock out, you'll probably need something with a little more oomph.

It is very soft. It was purchased as a outdoor place for our new grandson to lie on. The sand comes right off when shaken and we were very happy.

It's more like parachute type fabric. I remember it being softer and the inside is mesh. It's not the rough plastic that heats up or sticks to your skin

I bought several for outdoor terrace and poolside - and they are perfect for those venues. The fabric is not so much like plastic as like a heavy canvas. If you are going for color - they are perfect. If you want "soft and cuddly" not so much.

It's essentially a very sturdy beach ball.... no sand unless you add it! :o)

I have used it to practice on carpet with pretty good success. It has not yet come apart and always feels pretty solid. As an Ashtanga practitioner I'm picky when it comes to these things. Never tried in a beach. Good luck!

Had one for over a year and it would be wonderful for kids. Softer and slightly bigger than a regular volleyball. Our 5 year old grandson can play just fine.

Bottom is soft. Aa a follow up now that I've used it for a few weeks - the netting on the side already tore - Also, just as an FYI - there are three sections in the organizer - however the fabric that separates the compartments is not connected to the base - so things might slide from one compartment to the next.

I've yet to use it on the beach, but I'd be more concerned with ambient noise than I would sand. This is a GREAT indoor speaker; whether or not it's good outdoors is relative.

I would check in the kids department for inflatable balls. We have some that are very close in side to the one that comes with the net, it just wont have the volleyball markings and people tend to use those all the time with net we have because the one that came with the net is hit out of the pool and no one wants to go get it.

Maybe a Volley ball, but most likely not a Basketball. The sides are pretty rigid. There is a kind of cargo net on top, I use my cargo net to hold a sweat shirt sometimes.

It looks and feels like a real volleyball but I can't tell you if its a regulation ball.

It is similar, but because it is thin it is softer in my opinion. You may want to look into the toddler one if you are looking for something a little more dense. I have both. I will submit a picture of the two in the reviews so you can see the difference.

It's larger and much softer than a normal volleyball. Probably best for training.
