Lots and lots of practice balls?

Just in case we're interested in this kind of quantity, this email came in from FIRST central...

Greetings Teams:

Poof-Slinky has offered the following option for teams:

For a minimum order of 48 balls, teams can call customer service (800) 329-8697 with a credit card and order the #850 Basketball at the wholesale price of $4 each plus FedEx Ground shipping. 

**Important** - in order to get the discounted price, you cannot place the order on-line; you must call the number above.

Perhaps we can contact the rookie teams in our area and ask them if they would like to have 6-8 balls if we go and purchase 48 in bulk.
