Our Story
Love at First Fetch
It all started when our founder (Ryan Young) came across a large quantity of tennis balls near a garbage drop off site. They were quickly loaded into his vehicle, Taken home, cleaned and dropped off in Burnsville, MN at the local dog park (Alimagnet). With "Flash" as his partner, they were dropped off on a busy sunny day. The pack went crazy!!! An idea was born, where could he get more balls!! Tennis courts, city organizations, clubs and private donations came rolling in. Now we have designed a gate mounted ball collector for tennis court for donors to drop at their convenience.
