marks on the floor will not be allowed.

Nittaku 3-Star Premium balls are now
available for purchase at a cost of
$2 per ball.

We ask that folks limit their purchase
to no more than three balls per month,
while supplies last.

In the future, we'll likely be taking
orders for up to two dozen balls per
person and dispensing them according
to these amounts upon delivery.

When enacted, this policy change will mean
that balls will no longer be available to be
bought a few at a time at a moment's notice.

Instead, you should tell us how many you
want for the duration of a 3 to 4 month
period. At the end of these periods, another
group order will be arranged, and so on.

p.s. Double Happiness balls will also be
available at a cost of 75 cents per ball.

"Directions":

We are essentially located "in" Cleveland, OH.

The Village of Bratenahl is a sovereign community within the northeast portion of Cleveland, bordered by Lake Erie to its north.

Though NOT a mailing address for the club, the Community Center's official address is: 10300 Brighton Rd./ Bratenahl, OH 44108.
HOWEVER, THE PARKING LOT CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED FROM BURTON AVE. **If using GPS, input 10211 Burton Ave., which will take you to the residence just prior to the parking lot entrance.**

From West: Take I-90 (a.k.a. OH rte. 2; the "Shoreway") East through downtown Cleveland. Go just beyond Gordon Park and take exit #177. Turn left (north) onto Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Continue on MLK for about 0.2 mile where it curves to the right and becomes Lakeshore Blvd. Continue about 0.8 mile on Lakeshore until reaching Burton Ave. (Be careful here as Lakeshore will jog to the left, whereas Burton will continue straight. Look for the bus shelters to help identify this intersection) *Take Burton. After about 0.2 mile, look for the parking entrance to your left. This entrance is easy to mistake as just another residential driveway. Only a small green sign announcing the Community Center is posted, as well as a separate yellow recycling center sign. The gym will be to your right as you reach the parking lot. Park in any of the unresricted parking spots, or a designated parking spot if physically impaired. Enter the building through the outside gym doors.

From East: Take I-90 (a.k.a OH rte. 2: the "Shoreway") West. Exit at Eddy Rd. #178. Turn right on Eddy, but move to the inside (left) lane. After about 0.2 mile, turn left at the traffic light onto Lakeshore Blvd. Stay on Lakeshore for one mile. At Burton Ave. you will make a left. (Burton can be easily missed. Look for the bus shelters to help identify this intersection. There is also a small green sign with an arrow directing you to the community center.) Now follow directions as given in previous paragraph beginning at *.

From South: Take I-77, I-71, or I-271 North (whichever is closest to you). From I-77 or I-71 merge onto I-90 heading east. Follow directions "From West" above. From I-271 merge onto I-90 heading west. Follow directions "From East" above.
