Please refrain from using the Club Balls against the hitting wall as:

  • Tennis balls are not naturally designed to be hit against concrete walls and it is destroying them far quicker than under normal tennis conditions.

You are of course more than welcome to use the old balls for this use, which are stored in the small bin at the side the court.
