Indoor vs. Outdoor Volleyballs\nThe first major consideration is whether the volleyball is an indoor volleyball or an outdoor volleyball. Indoor volleyballs are molded whereas outdoor volleyballs are stitched. The seams between the panels on the volleyball will look different and are produced differently. \n\nIndoor Volleyballs: On indoor volleyballs, the panels are glued to an inner lining so the seams look smooth on the volleyball. This production method gives the volleyball more consistent playability. Indoor volleyballs weigh just a little less than outdoor volleyballs because indoor volleyballs do not need to contend with blowing wind.\n\nOutdoor Volleyballs: On outdoor volleyballs, it is obvious that the panels are sewn because you can see the holes and the threads holding the panels together. This stitching makes the volleyball more durable. Outdoor volleyballs also weigh just a little more than indoor volleyballs to prevent the volleyball from blowing in the wind as much.

goalie in indoor all depends on what kind of indoor place you are playing. Look up the rules and see if there are any special limitations at the place you will be playing. Also be prepared to be scored on a lot.  Indoor is a much faster and higher scoring game so do not feel bad.

There is a possibility that the difference is that one is under water (the ocean trench) and one isn't (the rift valley).  I've never heard of a "rift valley" being under water.

This is interesting to me...\n\nIndoor:\n\nWhen I started as a pro player it was very tough because I had no where to start and a couple ideas.\n\nYou can get on a team in many ways:\n\n1.  The team knows your name and finds you directly thru etiher an agent or maybe your present team or your coach.\n\n2.  You contact the team directly.\n\n3.  Your agent gets a request for a certain type of player from a team.\n\n\nBeach:\n\nWell there really aren't teams in the USA. I mean you find your partner generally speaking by training with them or talking to them about it because you saw they play and thought you might play well together.\n\nI noticed in Europe that certain pro teams (indoor) were starting beach teams (2 people) that were sponsored by the team's sponsors and the team.\n\nAlso, I saw that there were actual beach volleyball clubs that had several teams of partners that trained together and competed on the national pro ciruit.\n\nAn agent can help manage and negotiate sponsorship deals for beach players.\n\n:-)\n\nFor an example of an agent's website is:\n\nhttp://www.esmgsports.com\n\nalso, a database for pro volleyball players can be found here:\n\nhttp://www.elitevolleyballplayers.com\nIt will be the only database available to house potential/current pro volleyball players.

The libero was introduced in international volleyball in 1998 as part three changes to make volleyball more appealing to spectators.  Rally scoring and "let" serves being in play are the other two.  The main benefit of a libero is to allow the best defensive player to substitute in and a out without notifying the officials and without counting against the team's total allowed substitutions.  \n\nThe drawbacks of a libero are that they can't set make an overhand set on or in front of the 10 foot line, they can't serve, and they can't attack a ball that's above the plane of the net.  \n\nMost teams do prefer a libero to a defensive specialist despite the limitations.

I like the international style better.  Like you said, it requires fundamentals and skills.  Frankly it's why I like the women's game too.

If it's not until next year then you should defiantly look for a club in your area to play on for the time being.  There's no better practice then playing organized volleyball.  Also if there is any beach organizations or even just random tournaments then look into it.

I played both of them in high school. Basketball was a lot of fun but volleyball was more kick back. It is a lot easier to practice playing basketball because all you need is a ball and a court. With volleyball you need a lot more space and its very difficult to practice by yourself. but if ur asking about the hot factor. . . Girls v-ball is a lot better cuz the WNBA doesnt do it for me. . . sorry Lisa Leslie hello Misty May

There are many differences between indoor and outdoor balls.  Mostly, it is the material used and how it reacts to the elements.\n\nUsing a leather indoor volleyball outside will cause it to become waterlogged - even on a dry day - due to the surroundings and the moisture (humidity) in the air.\n\nThe stitching/seams is a big difference as well - outdoor balls have stitched seams (the good ones), while the indoor balls are sealed seams.\n\nThe weight is also different.  Using an indoor ball outside on a day with just a little breeze will cause chaos - it will blow everywhere.  The outdoor balls are weighted slightly to allow for some breeze (though you can use the wind for your serve effectiveness).  \n\nUsing an outdoor ball indoors isn't really that huge a deal, but the play will be different.  Best bet is to use an indoor ball indoors.  You will get much better indoor play, and you will look like you know what's up.\n\nI own both, and I am glad of it.  Best outdoor ball is the Wilson AVP silver or gold series (very soft leather, and they are WONDERFUL in durability).  Best indoor ball (I think) is Tachikara is the way to go.  Mikasa has a good ball for indoors, too.  Go to a reputable sporting goods store and they can explain everything too you, and get you the best ball for the money (most expensive is not always the best).

Volleyball, popular team sport played by hitting an inflated ball back and forth over a high net. In the indoor game, each team has six players, while in beach volleyball, played outdoors on sand, teams consist of two players each. Points are scored by successfully landing the ball in the court of the opponents without it being returned successfully. The game was invented in 1895 as a recreational pastime by American William G. Morgan, the physical education director of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) chapter in Holyoke, Massachusetts. His game, which he originally called Mintonette, quickly became popular, not only in the United States but also around the world. There are more than 200 national federations in the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB; French for “International Volleyball Federation”), the international governing body for the sport, which is located in Lausanne, Switzerland. An estimated 800 million people play volleyball throughout the world.

The libaro is a recent addition to the sport of volleyball.  He/she is basically a back-row specialist.  They are required to wear a uniform that contrasts with the rest of the team for identification purposes.  They can substitute in and out without notifying the referee and without counting as a substitution against your team.  However, when they substitute out, they must be replaced by the player they first substituted for.  Most of the time, they cannot serve except for certain NCAA allowances.  They are also prohibited from attacking a ball that is above the net and setting a ball in front of the 10ft (or 3 meter) line.  \n\nTypically, the libero is one of the better passers and back row defenders on the team.
