We realize that for some players volleyball is not a year round activity. Trouble is when it's not in season who knows what the volleyball is used for. It might become the dog's favorite toy, or junior's favorite kickball or merely just left in the garage for a year until next summer. Stuck under a barrage of other equipment it's a game of survival for most volleyballs. Not this one. No matter the conditions this ball is ready to go whenever you are no matter how much down time. This ball should be the official ball of the Postal Service, because nothing stops it.
