I got this volleyball for my ten year old who just started playing on a team this year. I wish they had these balls when I was starting out in grade school. The ball is a little lighter than the standard volleyball which makes it easier for the younger kids to hit the ball over the net. It is also a little more cushioned so it doesn't hurt as bad to hit. 5 stars

Tachikara volley-lite is a great ball to use for people who want to learn how to play volleyball. It has a soft cover that doesn't hurt forearms, and it's lighter than a standard volleyball, so it's easier to serve and set. 5 stars

I can't believe that a company would knownigly ship a product that was defective. This ball was coming apart at almost every seam. 1 star

My daughter started volleyball with this type of ball. Very soft on the forearms and easy to get over the net. A great indoor ball. 5 stars

It's the same light ball that teams age 12 & under use. Best ball I ever purchased. No sting! 5 stars
