Gopher Victory 1000 Synthetic Volleyballs
Synthetic cover is soft enough for indoor play, and tough enough for outdoor play. It's moisture- and abrasion-resistant to keep the ball in top shape during consistent use. Its softness and durability makes it the perfect choice for use in schools, clubs, camps, and team settings.
Cloth-wrapped, reinforced butyl bladder adds extra durability and long-lasting air retention. So, you can keep the action going without having to stop and refill the ball with air. Rainbow colors are a great addition to PE circuits focused on teaching individual volleyball skills. Organize stations according to the color of the ball.
