My daughter is a 9 year old player. She loves these balls. The weight is as it should be however the soft outside makes learning so much easier for her. I purchased extra to donate to her school for the CYO team to practice with. So much better than using the heavier, harder L2 at this age.

I wish i had this balls when i was young. they are so soft and easy to use

Excellent volleyballs that I would never be able to purchase locally. My family is thoroughly enjoying their new volleyballs and could t be happier on the feel and softness of these volleyballs. My younger was discouraged with our old ball that wasn?t for her age. Now with these new balls made for their age it?s the perfect tool to get them working while still under quarantine. Mahalo for these options and shipping to Hawaii!

This is a starter ball for our granddaughter. The product seems to be of good quality and we are very pleased with it.

First off, I had no idea what to expect when I ordered this, other than it was meant to be a starter volleyball. This was the Molten First Touch Youth Volleyball (2.5 oz.) The soft cover makes this feel almost nothing like a traditional volleyball, but it's actually pretty much perfect for a kid three to six years old to start getting contacts with. My first impressions are that it's not going to be real durable and seems cheaply made, but it does the job I bought it for (introducing a little one to the game,) and it arrived on-time and as described.

We purchased these for a youth volleyball program grades 3-5 and while only one week in, they work great. The kids aren't afraid to get hit by them and they work well when hit. We are excited to have them as part of our arsenal.

Kids love it

I'm working at the local YMCA and we have 1st to 4th graders using these balls. We started with full sized ones, but the kids begged for softer ones. They have very little arms that turn pink easily. We've had 2 practices with these balls and the kids love them so far. They are a bit slippery to hold because of the cloth, which may cause some problems with setting, but not likely anything very noticeable. They are perfect for bumping however. I recommend these for any young players learning the basics.
