Coach is literally picking up trash from public courts just so we have something to hit. We need real balls before POL-LITE starts or we are gonna lose.

The balls are literally dead and hard as rocks. We can barely train properly with 35 balls for 40 people. Totally ridiculous, hope OSG listens for once.
