And has a ball
Lacks I and me
Is one for all?

I am going to say
team
What starts with tea
And has a ball
Many team sports have a ball. Some examples are: rugby, football, baseball, and basketball. Hockey is the only exception I can think of.
Lacks I and me
There is no I in team. And the me is all jumbled up. The "no I in team" is a known phrase too.
Is one for all?
A team is the group acting as one for a common goal.

Golf.
What starts with tea
You start playing at a tee, that sounds like tea
And has a ball
Lacks I and me
There are not letters "I", "M" or "E" in it.
Is one for all?
Everyone can play golf, but only if they can afford it :D.
Or, as Beastly Gerbil suggested, it may be a reference to "hole in one". (one for all sounds like that). Which is the holly grail of golf.
