Question Hi. I want to get my eight year old her first volleyball. Is it best to start with regulation weight or a lighter one?
Answer Amy,
I think that would depend on the rules governing your volleyball association. In New York they only play with regulation balls. I believe in parts of California they use the lite ball. I would get the ball she will be playing and practicing with.
