“Did you know that tennis balls are NOT
biodegradable? That means that of the 300 million or so that are
manufactured yearly, 380,000 pounds of them could end up in landfills. Is
that how we want our precious ecosphere to be comprised? Staff at The
Racket doesn't think so!
The Racket Club Maintenance Supervisor John Cwiklik has found solutions. First, local animal shelters and schools are always in need of used balls and accept them from us with great delight. Next, there are companies now that re-pressurize balls and redistribute them to those who may not have the means to use brand new balls, helping to grow the sport among those previously without access to the necessary equipment.
Please help in this very worthwhile endeavor. The Racket Club, a Crystal Lake Park District facility, located at 9101 South Route 31 in Algonquin has ball recycling stations in the form of large bins resembling Penn tennis ball cans in the court hallways and foyer. Instead of throwing your used balls in the garbage, visit The Racket Club and throw them in these containers so that someday and somewhere, a sweet doggie, school student, or new player may benefit.
"Thank you," from The Racket Club!
