How can I encourage 5 year old to kick the ball?
A 5/6 year old girl really doesn't like to kick the ball. Throwing is much more prefered.
She would kick if a parent insists on it. But on her own volition she would always throw (so that when she plays with her brother or other kids, she may kick it with him 1 or 2 times and then insist that he keep kicking it to her bit she'll throw it back to him.
She claims she has no issues physically (it doesn't hurt to kick - and she likes to kick the air in child Tae-Kwon-Do classes; she isn't afraid to fall); and she CAN kick - though not perfectly. This is pretty much the only physical activity she seems to dislike.
What could be the reason and how can I encourage her to kick the ball?

She may just be used to doing it. If she learned to throw at an early age she might have been stuck with doing that.
You can't really encourage her, but if you keep forcing her to do it, it may take a while so be patient
