Why is It called Tennis Ball of all things?

• The name “Tennis Ball” for this event originates from a fusion of two concepts: the formal ambiance of a ‘Winter ball’ and the playful association with a tennis ball, a recognizable dog chew toy. This amalgamation captures the essence of the event, blending sophistication with a touch of lightheartedness. Notably, the Tennis Ball is organized and run by a Pet and Handler organization, further emphasizing its roots in pet play dynamics within the kink community.

Whether you choose a full leather ensemble, a classic suit, or anything in-between, all styles are welcome and encouraged.
