Force.
A net (unbalanced) force — e.g., a kick — is required to change the ball’s state of motion. Inertia is the ball’s tendency to resist that change (so you must apply a force). Friction and gravity are forces that affect how it moves (friction opposes rolling/sliding; gravity acts downward), but you still need a net force to start the ball moving.
