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&#39;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.
