Perfection Premium Leather Indoor Volleyball - Official Size 13U

Our review of the Perfection Premium Leather Volleyball focuses on indoor players from competitive 13U teams up through college. The bottom line: this ball is built for organized indoor play where a soft leather feel and consistent response matter most. Designed as an official court ball for the AVCA and NAIA women's play, it aims to deliver uniform touch and reduced sting through top-grade, full-grain leather and a lightweight bladder, making it a strong choice for teams and coaches who value playability and a natural leather feel.

Key Features

• Official approval: Built to official size and weight and approved by NFHS and AVCA, so it meets competitive indoor play standards.
• Full-grain leather cover: Hand-picked leather with a special tanning process softens the cover to reduce sting on digs and serves.
• Lightweight bladder: Uses the lightest bladder possible for optimum weight and a more responsive flight without excess drag.
• Blended cotton wrap: Internal cotton wrap helps the ball retain its shape through repeated play and impacts.
• Undetectable valve: A minimized, softened valve system keeps the ball's surface uniform so there is no noticeable catch during contact.

Who It's For

The Perfection Premium Leather Volleyball is aimed at competitive indoor programs - high school varsity, club teams, collegiate squads and coaches who need an official-size ball with a premium leather touch. Its leather cover and construction suit players who prefer a softer feel on serves and hits and want a ball that performs consistently across the court.

Players or programs that need a low-cost practice ball, an all-weather outdoor ball, or synthetic alternatives for very frequent rough use should look elsewhere; some customers report mixed durability and occasional air retention concerns, so programs prioritizing maximum longevity in heavy-duty practice environments may prefer a different model.
