How much does a regulation volleyball weigh?
Regulation volleyball weighs about 270 g (9.5 oz).
🔋 That's about the weight of 12 AA batteries — or 5 eggs 🥚, or 2 bananas 🍌.
At 270 g, it ranks #7 of 26 in Sports (lightest to heaviest) — heavier than Regulation ice hockey puck (170 g) and lighter than Tennis racket (310 g).
This is a specific, standardized product, so the weight above is an exact figure — not an average across variants.
A volleyball is noticeably lighter than a basketball — that's why it floats so long in the air.
