TIP 1: You can often find soccer balls at Ross for around 6 bucks. Yes, it's hit or miss, but I've picked up some really nice, $30 Addidas ones there....still six bucks. Even the cheaper Wilson's I picked up have been holding up fine.
TIP 2: Keep 'em inflated. I've become a stickler about making sure that all the balls we use at practice are rock hard; I start each practice with my "pocket pump." http://www.siliconvolley.com/product_p/pocket%20pump.htm
Why? Becuase it's much harder to trap a hard ball than a less inflated one. Much, much harder. Better to get my girls used to it, especially because most referees on game day are also sticklers about well inflated balls.
