20 Volleyball Coloring Pages: Animal Ball Pals and Net Play Free printable PDF · color online

ForSports clubs and familiesChildren ages 4–10Volleyball and animal fans

Volleyball coloring pages invite an unlikely team onto the paper: an elephant balances a ball, an octopus juggles three and an astronaut reaches through the stars. A smiling ball and a plain net keep the sports shapes visible between the character pages. Most designs have plenty of blank paper around the subject, with a few finer shoe, shell and net details.

Ways to use these pages

1

Team introductions

Give the elephant, puppy and astronaut names for an imaginary volleyball team.

2

Panel palette

Choose a ball color sequence and repeat it on two character pages.

3

Net comparison

Look at the plain net and owl net together and count a small group of squares.

Spot the ball on every page

Curved panel lines identify the volleyball even when a giraffe holds it high or a cat chases it across the ground. Start with the smiling close-up ball to see those shapes clearly, then look for the same pattern on the character sheets. Children can repeat one accent across every ball or give each panel its own shade. The crowned ball sits on a cushion, turning the sports object into an imaginary royal guest. A separate ball-and-whistle picture offers a broad object page with smaller cord details crossing the panels.

Choose a player with a personality

The puppy wears a shirt and holds a ball, while the teddy bear sits with a headband above its ears. A frog jumps over ripples, a kangaroo reaches upward with a joey in its pouch, and a dragon blows toward a floating ball. These poses make useful prompts for invented dialogue: what is the character trying to do, and what happens next? A child can choose the character before deciding whether to color the ball first. Some subjects contain fine marks, especially the turtle shell and the giraffe spots. The animal pages offer companions for a pretend team.

Compare nets and equipment

One page centers a volleyball against a curved net; another has an owl perched above a net, and a third places a little creature behind one. The repeated mesh creates many small squares, so these pages take more careful strokes than the open ball portrait. The shoes-and-ball scene adds laces and narrow sole lines that also deserve extra time. These are playful illustrations rather than diagrams of sporting technique. Print a net picture next to a player and let children invent their own match story. Browse the sports collection to choose a different ball game afterward.

Happy coloring!

Choose a character and a net page, then let your child invent a practice session for the pair. A single ball portrait also works for a shorter activity; save the mesh, shell patterns or laces for a longer coloring turn.

Questions

Do the pictures teach volleyball technique?

No. Most feature playful animals and fantasy characters with a volleyball rather than realistic instructions.

Which sheet is a simple starting point?

The smiling volleyball close-up has a broad outline and only a few main panel sections.

Is there a helmet picture?

The equipment page shows a volleyball and a whistle on a cord; it is labeled accordingly here.
