A lot of active sports are hard on your feet with a majority of the pressure during performance going to the ball of the foot. With repeated impact, twisting and hard use, this area of the foot can become so painful that it's hard to continue any sports activities.

Pain presenting in the ball of the foot can be caused by a number of different conditions including heel spurs, degradation of the plantar fascia, fat pad contusion, stress fracture, compressed nerves, or inflamed bursas.
Typical treatment of these conditions includes most importantly rest and ice. Inserts and orthotics, as well as certain stretching exercises, can also provide relief.
