## Overview

The Mikasa MVA200 is the official indoor volleyball used in the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympic Games, featuring a patented 8-panel swirl design and dimpled microfiber surface for superior control and aerodynamic flight. Its blue and yellow color scheme enhances player reaction times, while cemented seams provide a soft, responsive touch—making it the ultimate choice for competitive adult players seeking Olympic-level performance.

## Description

The Mikasa MVA200 Indoor Volleyball is tested and ready for high-quality performance in the Olympic Arena and was used in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Features include an eight-panel swirl design that allows for more contact area on the surface to improve passing and control and a unique dimpled microfiber material that creates turbulence and cuts down on resistance as the ball flies through the air. This lack of resistance allows the ball to fly through the air in a truer form so you can be creative with your serves and spikes.

Review: Great indoor ball! - Big volleyball fan here, I watch more than I play but that's besides the point. As a volley fan it didn't feel right to not have my own ball so I wanted to get the official game ball that I often see in the games I watch online. - Feels great. Good ball for hitters, at least for me I found it was easier to make full contact with this ball than with a Molten. Felt a bit easier to pass with this ball as well. - Good for setting. Some people complain about this ball being harder to set with, but I've experienced the opposite. I feel like my setting has improved with this ball, and some people have actually noticed and went out of their way to let me know which is definitely a big confidence-booster as an intermediate player. - Float serve. It's almost as if this ball was designed for float serves! With a good float serve I found it much more difficult to pass than a float serve with other balls. Obviously if you're really good at float serves using any ball can be pretty lethal, but this one I found to be much more difficult to pass when it comes to floaters. It just moves a lot more in the air than other balls, making it quite unpredictable and hard to track. Overall, I highly recommend this ball. I take it with me to open gyms and people love using it just because everyone knows it's the official ball, even though there's a newer one out already. Definitely has a different feel, but different in a good way. Definitely enjoying this ball and looking forward to improving my skills with it.
Review: The real thing. No worries. Purchase it. - I had some concerns ordering this item with all the "fake" balls out there. Do not buy the replica ones. They are just terrible, weight and feel. When getting it, I can tell you that I got the real thing. Excellent. I have been playing with such same balls and quality for the last two plus years. When ordering this, I saw that this is delivered from mikasa sports. So I guess this is genuine. In regards to the ball quality and use, guys, this is the official ball that professional players play with on official games and therefore also practice with it. It is the best ball to use indoor. FIVB has chosen this brand and this specific ball type, MVA200, for any volleyball pro / official games. Mind you that this ball is for adults and if you look for a ball for your kids, Mikasa has a softer and lighter ball that suits kids, the MVA330. Great spikes!!! 🏐

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great indoor ball!
*by M***O on March 15, 2020*

Big volleyball fan here, I watch more than I play but that's besides the point. As a volley fan it didn't feel right to not have my own ball so I wanted to get the official game ball that I often see in the games I watch online. - Feels great. Good ball for hitters, at least for me I found it was easier to make full contact with this ball than with a Molten. Felt a bit easier to pass with this ball as well. - Good for setting. Some people complain about this ball being harder to set with, but I've experienced the opposite. I feel like my setting has improved with this ball, and some people have actually noticed and went out of their way to let me know which is definitely a big confidence-booster as an intermediate player. - Float serve.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and serve better than any ball ever made
*by D***0 on September 13, 2014*

I play pickup volleyball at a local gym a few times a week and any time one of these or the Molten Flistatec are brought by someone we end up playing with one or the other. These balls pass, set, and hit extremely well, and serve better than any ball ever made, especially if you use a float serve. According to Reid Priddy of Team USA this ball brought the float serve back into volleyball, and its easy to see why. It moves differently every time you serve a floater from dropping at a moments notice to shaking back and forth like a knuckle ball the whole way in. Don't let the initial slippery feel of the synthetic material fool you, this ball is very grippy in actual play. Overall just a great volleyball, you can see why they are used in Olympic and World League play.
