The opposition is deep and consistent. We also found that 66% of the community believes ball size should remain universal across all genders and ages. Despite this, the size 4.5 ball trial continues in the SVNS series without any technical or biomechanical data being shared with the public.

Only 2 spots are up for grabs to move into the SVNS 2 series. South Africa and Poland are the heavy favorites coming in but you should keep a close eye on Argentina. Their squad (Las Yaguaretés) has been on a tear lately and they are clearly hungry to secure one of those promotion tickets.
