Volleyball sand needs to be very soft, produce very little dust, be free of pebbles, and resist compaction. R.W. Sidley’s volleyball sand meets these specifications and those set by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) for beach (sand) volleyball competitions.
Our volleyball sand is washed, clean, and free from organic material. It consists of 92% medium and course grade particles and 18% fine grade particles. The grains have a natural sub-angular shape, which allows the sand to drain well. Typical volleyball sand orders require 100 to 200 tons of sand.
