Personal Life
Ball grew up in Woodburn, Indiana, where he attended Woodlan High School. Because Ball grew up in a state that did not (and to this day does not) sanction varsity competition in boys' volleyball, he only played competitively during the summer. He made his first breakthrough at age 15 by getting an automatic position on the 1987 Olympic Festival. Ball also played basketball and was recruited by Bobby Knight to play the game at Indiana University. Ball currently resides in Angola, Indiana, with his wife, son and daughter.
