jlastino · Answer

they are made spherical  so that there would be smooth edges which therefore causes less friction with the ball and so the force would spread around more quickly which makes it go  further. 

It also means that when it hits the ground the force would spread and if it doesn't hit a corner it won't have another force slwing it down(and a round ball doesn't have corners.) 

It also means that when you kick a ball, it doesn't hurt your foot by kicking a corner of a ball
