There are two reasons for this: * Firstly, a spherical ball will bounce more predictably. Some games use non-spherical balls (such as American Football or Rugby) and part of the game is the non-predictability of the bounce. * The other thing is that if you inflate anything it will tend to form a sphere; with a sphere the pressure inside the ball is equal throughout the inside of the ball - this is why when bubbles are blown, the are always spheres. It isn't that a ball is round. It's that we call a round thing a ball (or sphere).
