A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?

She is standing in front of a wall which is 10 feet away when she kicks the ball and it hits the wall and comes back to her by the virtue of Newton's third Law of motion! She kicks the ball into the air vertically above her and the ball rises to 10 feet and then comes back to her by the virtue of gravity!
