      Hmm, interesting question. I suppose it does because everything is made up of chemical compounds so footballs are too! It’s not a very obvious link though. If you studied sports science you could learn about the science of football.

      Hi cal_smart_10,

      Great question! I think chemistry (and *all* science!) has a lot to do with everything, including football! For example, the reaction the ball makes with the air is what determines how the ball travels through the air after being kicked.
