Balls Belong in Women's Sports: Women’s sports are absolutely full of balls—big balls, small balls, heavy balls, light balls, soft balls, hard balls, fast balls, slow balls, bouncing balls, rolling balls, flying balls, and balls splashing through the water. Basketballs bounce up and down the court, soccer balls get kicked across the field, volleyballs soar over the net, tennis balls rocket back and forth, and softballs get smashed toward the outfield. Golf balls fly through the air before rolling toward the cup, bowling balls thunder down the lane, water-polo balls splash around the pool, rugby balls get passed and carried down the field, and handballs get fired toward the goal. There are field hockey balls, lacrosse balls, table-tennis balls, cricket balls, racquetballs, squash balls, and plenty more. Every sport treats its balls a little differently: some balls need to be kicked, some need to be thrown, some need to be hit, some need to be caught, and some need to be bounced, rolled, passed, served, smashed, or launched as far as possible. Sometimes one ball is enough to keep an entire stadium watching every move. That’s part of the joy of balls in women’s sports—they bring athletes together, keep the action moving, and turn simple games into incredible displays of skill, strength, speed, teamwork, and competition. No matter the sport, there always seems to be another ball waiting to bounce, roll, fly, or splash its way into the action, and women athletes around the world know exactly what to do with them. #sports #tennis #women #football #girl - @yomtovsdreams
