Answer:

According to "A Guide to Volleyball Basics" by USAVolleyball.org:

9-10 oz. - The ball shall weigh between 9 and 10 oz. (260-280 grams) and shall have 12 or more pieces that measure 25.5"-27" (62 cm-68 cm).

The ball pressure must be between 4.3 and 4.6 lbs. (0.30 and .325 kg/cm2)

There is a special "lite" ball for 12 & under kids programming which includes the U.S. Junior Olympic Volleyball
Championships run by USAV. The lite ball is the same size and pressure, but has a weight of 7 to 8 oz. (198-227 grams) and has a special "softer" synthetic leather cover that is wonderful for ANY beginner.
