Boy Kicking Soccer Ball Coloring Page — free printable coloring for kids to print and color at home

Add a name banner and your own title above the picture, then print — free, in your browser.

Here’s a fantastic coloring page for your little sports fan! This page features a cheerful boy in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, mid-kick with a soccer ball. The boy and the ball have big, satisfying areas perfect for broad strokes, while smaller details like the boy’s shoes, hair, and the ball’s pentagons offer a chance for a little more precision. The bold, uniform black outlines make every shape pop, creating a clear and inviting scene on the plain white background.

For this action-packed picture, consider giving the boy a bright, vibrant shirt in their favorite color – maybe a sunny yellow or a sporty blue – and contrasting shorts. The soccer ball’s classic black and white pentagons are always a hit, or you could imagine a wild, multi-colored ball! Crayons are ideal for filling the large areas quickly and easily, while markers will give the colors a bold, solid finish. Colored pencils could be used for the smaller details or for adding subtle shading to the larger shapes.

After your child finishes coloring, use the picture to spark a conversation about their favorite sports or activities. Ask them what kind of game the boy might be playing, or if they’ve ever kicked a soccer ball before. You could even encourage them to try imitating the boy's kicking pose themselves, or set up a mini "goal" with cushions and a soft ball for some indoor soccer fun.

Frequently asked questions

Does it matter if my child colors outside the lines?

Not at all. The bold outlines are there as a guide, not a rule — process matters far more than neatness at this age. Coloring "wrong" colors and wandering over lines is exactly how kids build the hand control that later shows up in handwriting.

The lines look thick — is that on purpose?

Yes. Bold, uniform outlines are much more forgiving for small hands: they hide little slips, make each area easy to see, and photocopy cleanly if a teacher needs a class set. It's the same style used in classic early-childhood workbooks.

My preschooler gives up halfway through. Is that normal?

Completely. Attention at this age comes in bursts — leave the page out and it'll often get a second visit later. Praising the effort ("you worked on that a long time!") rather than the result builds the staying power.
