Experience I have over twenty years experience with coaching and advising young people at the youth, high school, and college level regarding physical and mental exercises, habits, and overall well being. I have been lucky enough to have been both an athlete and coach at the NCAA level

Question How do I make A homemade Soccer Ballthat kids can kick around and kick far?
Answer Hmmmm. Depending on your sewings skills and what you mean by "far", I'd suggest some sort of combination of wadded up socks or shirts wrapped with duct tape. Obviously, it's going to be pretty tough to replicate the elasticity and performance of a real soccer ball, but if you wrap rubber bands (the more the better) around the wad of material, you might find it helps the longevity of your homemade pelota. Also, the inner most core should be something solid (a baseball, softball, etc). This is not an exact science, and I have to admit, it's been about 20 years since I've done this. Experimentation is surely you're best bet. Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful. Good luck.
