Just make sure you haven’t skipped any.
You will need to learn about rigs for character animation. It’s essentially the same thing as ‘animating the ball in a circular path’ but a rig will give you more flexibility.
But if you are lost, just try some of the fundamental courses to learn more about Blender and come back when you have a little more experience.
You will understand everything when you are ready, and not before. Never stop learning.
