Founder's Story - Namethatball

Hi, I'm Chloe, the founder of NameThatBall.

Tennis has been a huge part of my life from a young age. I competed at a high level throughout my junior years before moving into coaching, where I've had the privilege of helping players of all ages and abilities develop their game. Whether coaching complete beginners or performance players, my passion has always been making sport enjoyable, memorable and accessible.

After years of being around tennis clubs, tournaments and events, I realised that there was something missing. Everyone wanted a way to make tennis balls more personal—whether it was adding a name, a club logo, a special message or creating something unique for an event or gift. That's where the idea for NameThatBall was born.

The Birth of Namethatball

NameThatBall started with one simple idea: turn an ordinary tennis or padel ball into something unforgettable.

What began as a small idea quickly grew into a business working with tennis and padel clubs, tournaments, brands, businesses and individual customers across the UK. From personalised gifts and club events to live printing experiences and corporate activations, we've created thousands of custom balls for every occasion.

Today, we're proud to offer high-quality, tournament-quality personalised tennis and padel balls with no minimum order quantity, fast turnaround times and live on-site printing that creates a memorable experience for guests and customers alike.

At NameThatBall, we believe every ball can tell a story. Whether you're celebrating a tournament win, promoting your business, thanking a client, creating unforgettable wedding favours or simply adding your own personality to the court, we're here to help bring your ideas to life.

Custom balls for every match, moment and memory.
