About Us
We are a student-led nonprofit founded by student-athletes, united by our love for tennis and our commitment to a more sustainable planet. What began as a simple school project has grown into a shared mission: giving every tennis ball a second life—reducing waste, supporting our communities, and protecting the environment we all share.
Do You Know?
Every year, millions of tennis balls are discarded-most. ending up in landfills, where they take over 400 years to decompose due to their rubber and felt composition. As tennis players, we saw firsthand how quickly used balls piled up, and we knew there had to be a better way.​​
325 million tennis balls are manufactured annually.
130 million tennis balls are played with every year.
Most are used only a few times and then thrown away.
Nationwide, 99.5% used tennis balls go into U.S. landfills every year.
That represents 20,000 metric tons of methane-producing rubber waste.
Tennis balls are not biodegradable and take 400 years to break down!
What We Do?
​
We collect used tennis balls and creatively recycle them into fun, functional, and eco-friendly items-like chairs, tables, holiiday decorations, and more. Through our nonprofit, we hope to inspire others to rethink waste and rally for a greener future.
Our Ideas
​
We collect used tennis balls through recycling bins at local courts and turn them into creative projects-like chairs, toys, and art. Along the way, we're spreading awareness through a fun campaign and website to show how small changes can make a big impact for our planet.
Collect Where It Counts
We partner with tennis tournaments and facilities to gather used balls that can no longer be played but still have purpose
Create with Purpose
We transform old balls into fun and functional items-like chairs, toys, and decorations-to show
