To provide a ball for ball game and a method for manufacturing the ball having
superior sphericity, an ability to retain its original shape, durability, and soft
feel. The fabric layer (12) is formed by sewing with a sewing machine for
instance pentagonal first fabric pieces (13) together with composite shaped
second fabric pieces (14) in which two hexagons are connected with each
other, so that a spherical shape is formed. The marginal edge of the first and
second fabric pieces are superimposed in the spherical surface direction, so that
corner portions thereof are temporarily attached. Temporary attachment is achieved
by inserting the needle into the needle through hole formed in the corner of the
first and second fabric pieces, and welding by means of ultra sonic wave, such
that the first and second fabric pieces (13, 14) are accurately aligned.
The temporarily attached fabric pieces sewn together using a sewing machine along
the guiding line (17) for sewing printed beforehand on the surface of the
fabric pieces (13, 14).
