A ball is a ball used in ball sports and other games. Balls are usually spherical, but may have different shapes, such as rugby balls or footballs. There are elastic and lightweight, such as football and rugby, which inflate with air. Others are stiff and heavy, like golf and grass hockey. The ball of considerable size is called a ball. In most games where balls are used, the goal of the game is to manipulate the ball with parts of the body or with a tool, and enter it into a goal area, which varies with each game.

Las pelotas normalmente son esféricas, pero pueden poseer formas diferentes, como las pelotas de rugby o las de fútbol americano.

A la pelota de tamaño considerable se le llama balón. En la mayoría de los juegos en que se emplean pelotas, el objetivo del juego consiste en manipular la pelota con partes del cuerpo o con alguna herramienta, e introducirla en un área de meta, que varía según cada juego.
