Balls are much more than just toys they are objects that have connected people across cultures and centuries. The history of balls dates back thousands of years, with evidence showing that ancient civilizations, from Egypt to China, created balls made from natural materials like animal bladders, leather, or woven fibers. These early balls were often used for games, rituals, or even training warriors.
In sports, balls take center stage, serving as the key element in countless games worldwide. Soccer balls, for example, have evolved from simple stitched leather designs to highly engineered spheres optimized for speed, control, and durability. Basketballs and volleyballs have also been refined over the years, with materials and textures designed to improve grip and bounce.
