Before Steve gave me some balls (oh, the straight lines...), I acquired
enough to run a few modules of my own from various Bricklink purchases. You
could do a GBC by simply mandating that everybody who wants to add to a GBC
brings there own supply of balls, but I think this project could tap out
Bricklink. But I agree, it would be nice if at least a few other folks could
acquire a large lot of soccer balls in other geographic regions.

There is, I've heard tell, some PaB (not in the States, but UK IMS) that had
soccer balls for bulk sale. I know you can get a lot of soccer balls in a PaB
cup (a small cup here in the States holds about 180 - I don't have enough (yet!)
to tell how many a large PaB cup holds, but it looks to be around 300).

Well, I do have a very large suppily, and despite sending out hundreds of soccer
balls, I've just scratched the surface.
I have a whole stack of requests, just waiting to be boxed and shipped. I just need
to get to the post office during work hours... (sorry)
