you really need to buy a new one actually. they are pretty expensive thought the good ones are about $60 but i guess you can duck tape it

Please don't use duck tape and let me help. Most air leaks in a good quality volleyball happen at the needle valve. A quick cheap fix has worked for me many times and I can attest to the number of volleyballs in my personal inventory that others have given up on. Simply insert a rubber band into the ball valve! I like to use a red rubber band that is about an 1/8 inch in width. Make two black marks on the the rubber band about an inch apart and put a drop of dish detergent on the ball valve hole. Center the rubber band between your marks and use a ball needle to push the rubber band into the valve(the marks help you gauge how far the band has been inserted). Retract the ball needle a little and refill the volleyball to playing pressure. Next day you will know if you have saved $60 if it hasn't lost too much air. Trim the rubber band and make sure the next time it is filled that you either pay attention or redo the process. Enjoy
