Give the gift of play with our Thick PVC Size 4 Soccer Ball, designed especially for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, sports ministry, and youth programs. Unlike thin "picture balls," this ball is made with a thicker 2.7 mm PVC cover—the same kind of construction you’ll find on many $15–$20 youth balls in retail stores. It’s the everyday game-quality ball most kids around the world actually play with, offered here at a ministry-friendly price.
Key features
Size 4 soccer ball – ideal for ages 5–9 and younger 10–14 players
Thicker 2.7 mm PVC cover for added durability
Machine‑stitched panels for a more reliable shape
Rubber bladder for consistent air pressure and outdoor play
Includes a compact hand pump and 2 inflation needles
Real game-quality at a lower price
We’ve cut open and compared multiple name-brand youth balls. Most balls in the $15–$20 range use a PVC cover that is the same thickness or thinner than this 2.7 mm ball. That means you’re giving kids a real, trusted level of quality—without paying extra for a logo.
For even heavier use or older players, our Premium PUL balls (3.5 mm cover + 2‑ply butyl bladder) are a step up in feel and longevity. This 2.7 mm PVC ball is the reliable, budget-wise choice for large distributions, shoebox gifts, and everyday youth play.
Rolled & shoebox ready
Pre‑wrapped with pump and needles in the center, secured with a rubber band to fit standard OCC shoeboxes
Deflated for easy packing into shoeboxes, luggage, and team bags
A great WOW gift for soccer‑loving kids in the 5–9 and 10–14 age groups
Perfect for
Operation Christmas Child and other shoebox gift programs
Sports‑focused mission trips and outreach events
Schools, clubs, and community centers
Camps, VBS, and youth sports ministries
This Thick PVC Size 4 Soccer Ball set gives kids a real ball that can handle regular play while still being budget‑friendly for ministries and donors. Pair it with a few small toys or school supplies to build an unforgettable shoebox gift.

Stuffies to Love and More
I purchased cuddly teddy bears in 3 colors to pack in our Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. They make perfect Wow gifts. I also purchased smaller stuffed animals that can be added as "something to love."

Irresistible light up giraffe
The arms and legs of these giraffes stretch out and can go into a myriad number of shapes and positions. The suction on the bottom of the arms and legs add to the fun. Their faces light up and blink! I'm a senior and I have two on my desk. Often I pick them up when I need a break and some added enjoyment to my day! They are irresistible! Kids love them too!
