These soccer ball coloring pages are 24 different takes on one round thing. That sounds like it’d get repetitive. It doesn’t. There’s a big easy ball for toddlers, a ball smashing into the net, a mandala ball that’ll take an older kid most of an afternoon, and a colour-by-number one where the patches tell you what to do.
They’re part of our bigger set of soccer coloring pages, which has the players, goalkeepers and jerseys. This page is just the balls.
Each page has a level on it. Level 1 means thick lines and big spaces (ages 2 to 4, roughly). Level 2 is a bit more going on, good for 5 to 8. Level 3 is detailed, for kids 9 and up, and plenty of grown-ups like those too.
One free PDF, all 24 pages. No email needed, and it prints on US Letter or A4.
Classic Soccer Balls
Pages 1 to 4. The ball as everyone pictures it.
Page 1 is the classic black-and-white panel ball, drawn big. Kids don’t have to color it black and white, obviously. Page 2 puts the ball on a tuft of grass. Page 3 gives it a face, a happy one, which tends to go down very well with three-year-olds.
Page 4 is the easiest page in the pack: a huge ball with just a few panels and very thick lines. If you’ve got a toddler who’s still mostly scribbling, start here.
Soccer Balls in Action
Pages 5 to 8, for kids who think a ball sitting still is boring.
Page 5 is a ball flying into the back of the net. Page 6 has speed lines streaking behind it. Page 7 shows the ball bouncing across the page, getting smaller with every bounce, which is fun to color in a rainbow.
And page 8 is the one we expect older kids to fight over: a ball with a cartoon flame trail, like it’s just been hit really, really hard.
Design Your Own Soccer Ball
Pages 9 to 12. These are blank on purpose.
Page 9 is a modern ball with big curvy panels, like the ones used in tournaments now. Page 10 is the classic panel shape with nothing filled in, so kids pick every color. Page 11 is split into stripes and zones.
Page 12 is a ball split down the middle. One half for your team, one half for whoever you’re playing. It’s a nice one to color before a big game, or to sort out a sibling argument about who supports whom.
Patterned Balls for Older Kids (and Grown-Ups)
Pages 13 to 16. These are the grown-up ones. Older kids love them, and so do plenty of adults.
Page 13 is a mandala ball, with rings of petals and patterns inside the circle. Page 14 is a zentangle ball, every panel filled with a different pattern (dots, waves, tiny triangles). Both are Level 3 and both need sharp colored pencils or fine-tip pens.
Page 15 is a ball framed inside a hexagon border, and page 16 is a whole sheet of small balls, like wrapping paper. That one’s surprisingly relaxing to color, or so we’d guess from how long people seem to spend on pattern pages.
Soccer Ball Scenes
Pages 17 to 20. The ball somewhere.
Page 17 is the ball sitting on the penalty spot with the goal behind it. Page 18 is a ball next to a pair of cleats. Page 19 is a ball beside a big trophy, good for an end-of-season card. Page 20 is the most detailed scene: a ball on the center spot of a stadium, with the crowd in the stands.
Learn and Play Pages
Pages 21 to 24. These do a bit more than coloring.
Page 21 is colour by number. Each panel has a number, and a key at the bottom tells you which color goes where. Page 22 is a dashed ball for little ones to trace first and color after, which is good pencil practice for preschoolers.
Page 23 is an “I spy” page with soccer balls hidden among other things. Count them, color them. (We know how many there are. We’re not telling.)
Page 24 is a bunting template: little ball-shaped flags to color, cut out and string up for a soccer party. If you want a proper craft after that, our soccer ball craft uses a paper plate.
More Ways to Use These Soccer Ball Coloring Pages
- Team party. Print the bunting page a few times and hang it across the room.
- Before a match. Page 12, the split ball, is perfect for picking sides.
- Classroom. The colour-by-number and tracing pages work well as quiet morning work.
- Rainy practice days. When training gets cancelled, a ball page is the next best thing.
Will the flame ball or the mandala end up more popular? We’re not sure. Probably depends on whether you ask a seven-year-old or their mum.
Printing Tips
- Pick Actual size or Fit to page.
- Printer paper is fine for crayons. For markers, use card stock so the color doesn’t bleed through.
- Black and white or draft mode saves ink. The lines are bold enough either way.
- Printing the bunting? Card stock makes the flags hang straighter.
