Description of the Related ArtThe present invention is a glow in the dark volleyball set that has poles that light up, a net, an illuminated ball, a led light or reflective material and solar panels. The main purpose of the glow-in-the dark volleyball set is to present a volleyball set made with illuminated or fluorescent parts for nighttime usage. Volleyball is a popular team sport which two teams are on opposite sides of net and attempt to score points by grounding a ball on the opponent's court.

Ingenious and practical, the glow-in-the dark volleyball set introduces an illuminating volleyball net which enables consumers to enjoy playing a beloved recreational sport at any time with optimal vision of the net provided. Comprised of two durable glowing poles integrated with solar panels in order to sustain the lighting within; the glow-in-the dark volleyball set additionally features a net consisting of reflective material or LED lights in order to ensure players can have a clear visual of the netting, especially ideal for settings with dim lighting, poor weather, or dark hours of the day. The glow-in-the dark volleyball set is intended to have a tasteful design, inviting consumers to keep the netting in backyards without concerns of unsightly equipment detracting from the appeal of one's home. The glow-in-the dark volleyball set can easily become an essential alternative to traditional volleyball nets, making it possible to be readily available at sporting goods stores and/or online retailers.
The glow-in-the dark volleyball set incorporates a lighting source to volleyball equipment. The glow-in-the dark volleyball set is uniquely designed to come in decorative luminescent packaging for marketing purposes, attracting diverse consumers as a means to generate interest.
