Mikasa Beach Classic

The Mikasa Beach Classic is designed primarily for recreational play and casual outings. While it follows official size specifications, competitive tournaments typically require balls with specific professional-grade stitching and water-resistant materials that differ from this recreational model.

The soft synthetic cover is durable enough for regular recreational use on sand. However, like any stitched ball, it will eventually show wear if dragged across rough surfaces or left in harsh, direct sunlight for extended periods.

Yes, this is a standard size 5 volleyball, which is the official size used for both indoor and outdoor play. It will feel familiar to anyone accustomed to standard volleyball dimensions.

While it is optimized for sand, you can certainly use it on grass. We do not recommend using it on concrete or asphalt, as the abrasive surface will quickly damage the synthetic cover and stitching.

No, the ball is shipped deflated to ensure it arrives in the best condition. You will need a standard ball pump with a needle to inflate it to the recommended pressure before your first game.
