THE ART
Joy in Motion brings to life a vibrant grid of shapes and patterns that reflect the beautiful complexity of childhood. Each panel is distinct yet a critical piece of the ball. The bright, bold colors celebrate individuality, and creativity, while showcasing symbols of bridging gaps and making progress β together.
Joy in Motion echoes the mission of Variety β The Childrenβs Charity: celebrating every childβs uniqueness while ensuring they all have access to the resources, mobility, and opportunities they need to fully participate in the world around them.

70% of kids quit playing sports by the age of 13.
The reasons vary, but the impact stays the same. When kids quit playing β mental health and physical health suffer, they may face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and lower self-confidence, and they miss out on learning essential skills like teamwork, discipline, and resilience.
We want to keep kids playing and connecting with their community. Join the movement.

Our ball made the local news in Kansas City, and people showed up because of it.
One of them put it better than we could: "We saw this ball on the news and just had to come get one before they were gone. This is such a beautiful ball with a wonderful purpose."
Look at the photo behind that quote β kids in Spain, USA, and Argentina jerseys, all on the same indoor pitch, all playing the same game. We couldn`t script that either. That`s what happens when you invite the world to play.
Kansas City showed up. Where to next? The ball`s in your court.

βA traditional canvas invites stillness and close observation. But a soccer ball is constantly in motion and shared between people. That pushed me to think about how the art would feel from every angle and how the design could communicate energy, joy, and inclusivity even in fleeting moments during play.β

We wanted to gather the world, so we built a pitch.
A small escape in a quite corner gave locals and international visitors common ground to play. Suddenly it didn`t matter what language you showed up speaking β the ball did the talking.
This is the whole idea behind One Ball for All: give people a reason to show up and connect.
Where should the ball go next?

What an amazing evening with our friends at @variety_kc! We joined them for a neighborhood #WorldCup watch party in the @cityofoverlandpark. Kids, families, and the community gathered around our Joy in Motion soccer ball for quick games, juggling, and fun β together. β€οΈβ½ππΌ

We`ve heard your requests! β½π We have met so many kind people that have purchased our Buy a Ball, Give a Ball soccer balls βΒ then gave ALL of them to kids in the community. π€―
1) THANK YOU for being awesome.
2) We want to make that easier. So, here we are...
If you want to purchase a single ball to give to a kid in an under-resourced community, you can now choose "Give a Ball" in our shop.
The purchased ball will not ship to you. Instead, we will send it directly to a child to play and connect with the community around them. Plus, proceeds still benefit our charity partners at @varietyinternational.

ππΌ We`ve had a ball at @unionstationkc these past 5 weeks! THANK YOU Kansas City and all of our international visitors for the thousands of games played on our pitch. We can truly say the community gathered right here, and we couldn`t be more grateful that you all joined us for a match, or two, or ten πβ€οΈ
