About the Awards
On the Baseline Tennis News (www.onthebaseline.com) is the largest independently-owned professional women’s tennis news website in the United States. Since the site’s launch in 2005, On the Baseline has provided daily news, commentary, and results from professional women’s tennis and the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.
Since 2007, Rebounces (www.rebounces.com) is a green leader in tennis through its efforts to keep tennis balls in play and out of landfills, while growing the game by making affordable practice balls available to players.
As part of its Replay, Reuse, Recycle initiative, Rebounces partners with organizations such as the OnTheBaseline.com to collect tennis balls, re-pressurize them, and sell them in bulk as practice balls. Teaching pros, tennis facilities and players can also send lifeless practice balls to Rebounces to be re-pressurized at a fraction of the cost of new practice balls. Balls that aren’t suitable for further court use are made available to schools or health care facilities for a variety of uses. Rebounces continues to seek environmentally-friendly ways to recycle felt and rubber from severely damaged balls.
To find out how you can donate your used tennis balls, please visit www.rebounces.com for further information.
