Tips
Looking For Used Tennis Ball?
One of the best ways to find used tennis balls is to check with your local tennis clubs.

Speak to the tennis teaching pro. Ask them if they could donate balls to your cause. They may have some left over from tournaments or if and when they change out their practice balls they may have extras.

Some players only use balls a couple times. Ask if you can put a recycle bin in the club for used balls to go to your cause.

I need 100 old balls for my class. We lost 1/3 of our classroom funds for this year, and will not receive a raise for at least two years. I just can not afford to go out and buy balls for the classroom. Thank you.

I am an elementary school teacher in need of approx. 200 tennis balls for my classroom. Teachers this year will not get any state funds for classroom supplies. My floor only gets waxed once a year, and does not get mopped unless I do it, so I am looking for tennis balls to help make my classroom a clean, positive environment. Please contact me if you can donate any tennis balls, will pay for shipping.

-I'm trying to help the enviroment by recycling "gently used" tennis balls so they can be used on school chairs and desks. Due to budget cutbacks, several schools have contacted me regarding getting balls for their schools. I am currently in need of over 1,000 balls. I am in So. Florida and will be happy to pick up or pay shipping.
