اللاعب مرر الطابة.

A common Levantine pronunciation is il-lāʕeb marrar eṭ-ṭābe or el-lāʕeb marrar eṭ-ṭābe.

Word by word:

• اللاعب → il-lāʕeb / el-lāʕeb
• مرر → marrar
• الطابة → eṭ-ṭābe / iṭ-ṭābe

A few things to notice:

• The e / i variation in el / il depends on region and speaker.
• مرر has a doubled r sound.
• ط is an emphatic t, so ṭābe is not the same as plain tābe.

Because of sun-letter assimilation.

In both اللاعب and الطابة, the ل of the article ال blends into the first consonant of the noun:

• اللاعب is written with ال, but pronounced il-lāʕeb
• الطابة is written with ال, but pronounced eṭ-ṭābe

That happens because:

• ل is a sun letter
• ط is also a sun letter

So the article stays in writing, but in speech it assimilates.

Yes, if you write it more explicitly, you will often see مرّر.

That shadda shows that the ر is doubled in pronunciation:

• مرر → marrar
• not marar

In normal everyday Arabic writing, short vowels and even helpful marks like shadda are often omitted, so مرر without marks is very common.

مرر is a past-tense verb meaning he passed.

More specifically, it is:

• 3rd person
• masculine
• singular
• past/perfect

So the verb already contains the idea of he. Arabic does not need a separate word like did here.

Because subject + verb + object is very common in spoken Levantine.

So:

• اللاعب مرر الطابة = a natural colloquial order

You could also hear:

• مرر اللاعب الطابة

That verb-first order is possible, but the version with the subject first often feels more natural in everyday spoken Levantine.

Because both nouns have the article ال:

• اللاعب = the player
• الطابة = the ball

Arabic attaches the directly to the noun instead of using a separate word.

In a sentence like this, both things are usually specific in context, so definiteness makes sense.

Because the final ة in Levantine is usually pronounced -e when the word stands on its own.

So:

• طابة → ṭābe

This is very common in Levantine pronunciation. In more formal Arabic, that same ending behaves differently, but in everyday Levantine -e is what you will usually hear.

Yes, طابة is a very common Levantine word for ball.

By contrast:

• كرة is the more common Modern Standard Arabic word

So both are useful, but:

• طابة sounds natural in everyday Levantine speech
• كرة is more standard/formal

That is the letter ع (ʿayn), and it does not have a true English equivalent.

In لاعب, the word is pronounced roughly lāʕeb.

A good beginner goal is:

• do not replace it with a normal English vowel
• do not turn it into g
• try making a slight throat constriction before the second part of the word

Even an approximate ʿayn is better than ignoring it completely.

Yes, you can.

مرر الطابة can mean he passed the ball if the subject is already clear from context.

That is very normal in Arabic, because the verb already tells you:

• person
• gender
• number

So if everyone already knows who he is, the noun اللاعب does not have to be said.
