I am about to alter forever the looks of what constitutes a beginner and school volleyballs. No more cheap and nasty volleyballs, as in price and or quality and more over the top volleyballs, that were NEVER meant to be used at schools.
I should know as it was me who introduced the Tachikara V Soft, the Mikasa School volleyball and the Mikasa SKV5 during my time as head of these brands here in Australia.
But supplying schools with balls and asking $149 for one does not allow a high proportion schools the ability to buy them, and later on become the players of tomorrow.
