I just got the latest series 24 CMFs. There is a Referee with a soccer ball,
and I'd love for that soccer ball to sit right next to the minifig.

The soccer ball has the smallest hole (that I believe Lego has on standard bricks).
It's the same size that will be on some minifig's hear/head pieces to
fit a hat.

So is there a piece (or combination of pieces) that will go from a standard post
(as found on the CMF base plate) to a male post of that tiniest size, so I can
sit the soccer ball on it?

I hope I described that well. Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered!

Mike

I don’t know the ball but the “hat post” you’re talking about is called a “small
pin” in the catalogue.

AFAIK, it’s only on Friends accessories, with no other standard connector, or
on plumes & flames.

The smallest flame is
 
Part No: 37775  Name: Wave Rounded Straight Single with Small Pin End (Candle Flame)
* 
37775 Wave Rounded Straight Single with Small Pin End (Candle Flame)
Parts: Energy Effect
and it can be held by a clip.

You could also use the older
 
Part No: 6126  Name: Wave Rounded Straight with Bar End and Small Pins (Castle Dragon Flame / Seaweed / Water)
* 
6126 Wave Rounded Straight with Bar End and Small Pins (Castle Dragon Flame / Seaweed / Water)
Parts: Energy Effect
as the pin is on the side and it would look like the ball is going so fast it’s
trailing flame

Yes, that's great... now, do they have a piece that is simply the "pin".
If I had this piece along with a "pin", I think that would do the trick!
Thanks!

Just use a little piece of plastic, or a paperclip…

Unfortunately the magic wand's end is bit too wide to fit the hole. May be
shave it?

This is the best I came up with:
