Easy coloring page of a volleyball above an indoor net with court lines, benches, and water bottles.

Volleyball Over the Indoor Net

A big volleyball floats over the square-mesh net while benches, court lines, and three water bottles wait in the gym.

🎨 How to color it

Color the volleyball white with sky-blue curved panels, the net posts bright red, the gym floor honey gold, and the water bottles lime green. Use chunky crayons or markers for the big ball and floor, then switch to a sharper crayon point for the little net squares. Try making the wall behind the ball a soft purple so the round volleyball pops over the net.

The story behind this coloring page

The Bottles That Cheered — Under the old gym lights, Nico shook his tiny bottle-cap rattle: clink-clink, clink-clink. Read the full story →

Under the old gym lights, Nico shook his tiny bottle-cap rattle: clink-clink, clink-clink. He wanted everyone to hear the cheer his sister had made before she moved away, but the big room swallowed it. The ball boomed over the net, shoes squeaked, and Nico’s small sound hid in his fist.

Then his rattle slipped. Caps skittered under the bench, tapping three water bottles: tink, tonk, ting! The gym answered from high in the corner, clink-clink, clink-clink, louder and brighter. “It knows it!” Nico whispered. He set the bottles by the net, and each serve made them sing the cheer for everyone. Ever since, players leave bottles near volleyball nets in that gym, so big joy has somewhere to ring; can you spot the little singers waiting after the clink-clink?
