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 am an elementary art teacher at a public school in Indianapolis. Due to budget cuts, I am left with no funds this year. I have done fund raisers to buy supplies for us to use, but the one thing I still really need to are tennis balls to put on the chair legs to cut down on the noise level. We are a special education hub school and the noise my chairs make are really hard on our kiddos with sensory issues. I would love to be the recipient of 180 used tennis balls to use in my classroom. Thank you so much!

Our tennis season run's in three (3) sessions. I purchase over a 100 cases of PENN balls each year. That is roughly 4,500 balls.
We are looking for a donation facility for the used balls. We would also look at selling them for a small amount as we have so many left after each session.

I am in need of about 100 tennis balls to place on the chair legs in my son's classroom. He is in a program for children with autism...the squeaking of the chairs on the floor is overwhelming to some of the children. His teacher has asked for help in this situation.
