Hand stitched all-weather composite coverOfficial volleyball of King of the Beach and USA tournamentsDesigned for competitive outdoor play
outdoor, i highly recommend a spalding king of the beach
Make sure you get the Official KoB.. approximately 45USD, not the Replica KoB.. approximately 15USD.
I've found the official KoB for as low as 30USD if you bargain hunt long enough.
You can play with whatever you want, but outdoor balls are made for the purpose and will both survive and play better in the sand and grass.
Get the Spalding King of the Beach or Wilson AVP ball.

Do not get a replica ball. They are terrible.
Souther Cali beach players use the wilson AVP ball
Old school players use heavier Spalding kings of the beach
The Spalding KoB is better when it's windy because it's heavier but the Wilson is the current AVP ball.
There is a new version of the [Wilson AVP II] (https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-AVP-Official-Beach-Volleyball/dp/B01C5VR8SI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473780846&sr=8-3&keywords=wilson+sand+volleyball) ball but more expensive.
*edit: added the AVP II ball link
So many choices. Shoes are nice especially if she's still growing. Ankle braces are nice and not a lot of people have a pair. She likely has knee pads so won't need those any time soon. A ball is nice even if she has one. I'd go for the super touch, /u/Kace10 provided a link. They're cheaper on Amazon. If she ever plays beach, an outdoor ball is a good gift here or here. Lines are also a nice gift, a little pricier here. If she has more than say, 2 balls, a mesh bag is nice here. Or even a regular bag for shoes, ball, towel, etc., you can get those anywhere.
Casting a vote for the Molten Flistatec balls for indoor and [Spalding KOB] (https://www.amazon.com/Spalding-King-Beach-Official-Volleyball/dp/B00ANSGLUC/ref=sr_1_9?s=team-sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1487779265&sr=1-9) for outdoor. I own 1 indoor ball and 3 or 4 beach balls.
Edit: For storage on my way to play, I have a volleyball bag that has a pouch to place the ball into at the bottom. I've also seen people clip these onto bags without that compartment. If you have multiple balls you need to bring with you, you can get more of a sack type bag that'll hold several balls or a carry bag.
Or just throw the balls in a closet/back seat of your car when you're lazy
Don't think so. Looks too shiny on the black portions and doesn't have the correct logo on the bottom portion.
For comparison.
You know what bro, I am not 100% sure. The last tournament I played in I was told that that they will switch to the AVP one because things changed. I play BB or A so I don't care much. I will double check and let you know in the future.
For amazon, if you are talking about this, then yeah there is a different between the two balls (gold vs the yellow printing). I bought that same one and got the yellow printing. I think they both are just listed together because they have the same UPC?
