I came across Make-A-Ball and thought of my nine-year-old. He loves baseball and football more than anyone I know. I thought this would be perfect for him, so he helped pick out and design his baseball.

Now, while we LOVE our hometown team, the Reds, he fixates on a team and immerses himself in it by learning all he can. Right now, he likes the Boston Red Sox, so that is what he wants. Creating the ball was easy—only four steps.
1 – Choose a ball
2 – Choose a panel to wrap the ball vertically or horizontally.
3—Choose a design or backdrop for the ball. There are over 90+ preloaded images that you can drag and drop onto your design.
4—Upload your own picture or clipart, which is preloaded onto the site. We gathered two images from the web, the picture of the socks and the logo “Boston Red Sox,” and uploaded them to Make-A-Ball. If your image is too small, you will get a warning that you need to upload a larger file size. You can also add your own text to make your ball truly special.
When we received the ball, I was really impressed with the quality. The images we picked out looked awesome. The ball had a high gloss finish, and the stitching was perfect. My son was so excited when he opened it that he proudly displayed it on his bookshelf in the holder. I have heard him tell his friends, “I made that ball…it’s one of a kind.” Make-A-Ball is a neat idea for your sports fan, coach gifts, MVPs, team pictures, or graduation gifts.

Kymberly Pray says
I understand why others would opt to put photos of loved ones on such a creative ball as a commemorative piece, but for me it would be a bit awkward if actually used.
Thus, I think a soccer ball with images of people you dislike on it: politicians, ex-boyfriends, etc. would be good.
It would be an effective motivator for kicking it hard and far.
