    Default Need to buy a load of tennis ball for practising purpose

    Well... as usual, not for me really  

    Just would like to buy about 30 - 50 of them and don't really want to spend more than $50. Basically we will put them into a Kmart basket and teaching some friend to play.

    So if any of you know where I can buy some today it will be perfect. Thanks in advance.

    Sports stores like A-mart sell new balls in bulk, but you won't get many for $50.
    I don't know how you would go at a tennis centre either (not that there is many around anymore), as all of their used balls go to their coaches.

    I always have several cans of tennis balls sitting around at home, but certainly not 30-50 balls.

    Do you really need that many balls to teach them to play?  It's not like you are a professional coach.

    well... with my 23 cap my students in golf are actually play much better than me!

    Maybe as Kee said I am a born coach, not player

    BUT I DON'T AGREE WITH HIM!

    Anyway I hold a sport coaching cert I did sometime ago from TAFE so I know what I am talking about

    So AP mind if you take over your old balls?

    There's a line there somewhere, but I'll let it go.....


    I could probably give you 2 or 3 cans of old balls, andy, and a lesson in tennis too, if you want.

    you haven't mentioned andyP's presumption to teach Andylo a lesson at tennis. AndyP must be some kind of tennis guru...

    Yeah, that would be great. Has the potential to be as much fun as our cricket day last year.

    yeah you can bring the sangas, and you can be the chair umpire as well ... seeing as though you're a cripple.

    Blake can be ballboy if he feels up to it.
