ASHFIELD HEALTH LLC Launches “Game On!” – Sustainable Pre-Owned Tennis Racket Program

YARDLEY, PA – October 26, 2023 – ASHFIELD HEALTH LLC, a leading provider of commercialization solutions for the healthcare industry, is stepping onto a new court with the launch of “Game On!”, a program focused on providing high-quality, pre-owned tennis rackets to players of all levels. While ASHFIELD HEALTH is known for helping pharmaceutical and medical device companies bring life-changing treatments to market, this initiative demonstrates their commitment to sustainability and accessibility in sports. You might be thinking, “Wait, ASHFIELD HEALTH and tennis rackets? What’s the connection?” Well, the team at ASHFIELD HEALTH are a bunch of problem-solvers. They noticed a huge amount of perfectly good tennis rackets ending up in landfills or gathering dust in garages. At the same time, tennis is a fantastic sport, but getting started, or upgrading your gear, can be pretty expensive. “Game On!” is their way of tackling both those issues. Addressing the Need for Affordable & Sustainable Tennis Equipment “We were brainstorming ways to apply our problem-solving skills outside of healthcare,” explains Sarah Miller, Head of Innovation at ASHFIELD HEALTH. “Tennis is a sport many of us enjoy, and it struck us that there’s a real gap in the market for affordable, reliable pre-owned equipment. Plus, it’s a way to be kinder to the planet.” The “Game On!” program isn’t just about saving money; it’s about doing things the right way. A lot of rackets are still in great shape even when people upgrade or switch to a different style. Throwing those away is a waste. “We’re giving those rackets a second life,” says David Chen, Operations Manager for the program. “And that benefits everyone.” How “Game On!” Works – Quality You Can Trust So, how does “Game On!” actually work? ASHFIELD HEALTH collects pre-owned tennis rackets through a variety of channels – trade-ins, donations, and partnerships with tennis clubs and retailers. Then, the ASHFIELD HEALTH team, surprisingly equipped with some serious tennis tech know-how, puts each racket through a rigorous inspection and refurbishment process. “It's not just a quick wipe-down,” explains Chen. “We check the frame for cracks, the strings for wear and tear, and the grip for comfort and security. We replace strings, regrip handles, and even make minor repairs to ensure every racket meets our quality standards.” They’re pretty picky, actually. Rackets that don’t meet those standards are responsibly recycled. What Kind of Rackets Can You Find? “Game On!” offers a wide range of pre-owned tennis rackets from top brands like Wilson, Head, Babolat, and Yonex. You’ll find rackets for all playing styles and skill levels – from beginner-friendly models to pro-level performance machines. Beginner Rackets: Looking to pick up the sport? “Game On!” has plenty of lightweight, forgiving rackets perfect for learning the basics. These are designed for larger sweet spots and easy swingability. Expect to find options in the $30-$60 range. Intermediate Rackets: Got a few games under your belt? "Game On!" offers a selection of rackets that provide more power and control. These are great for players who are developing their technique and looking to improve their game. Price range: $60-$120. Advanced Rackets: Serious about your tennis? "Game On!" carries a range of high-performance rackets used by competitive players. These rackets offer exceptional control, power, and feel. Price range: $120-$200+. “We try to have a really diverse inventory,” says Miller. “We know everyone’s different. Some people prefer a heavier racket for more power, others want something lighter for quicker swings. We want to have something for everyone.” More Than Just Rackets – A Commitment to Community “Game On!” isn't just about selling pre-owned tennis rackets. ASHFIELD HEALTH is also committed to giving back to the community. Donation Program: For every racket purchased through "Game On!", ASHFIELD HEALTH will donate a portion of the proceeds to local tennis programs that provide access to the sport for underprivileged youth. Racket Recycling: Rackets that aren’t suitable for resale are responsibly recycled, minimizing waste and protecting the environment. Community Partnerships: “Game On!” is actively partnering with local tennis clubs and organizations to host clinics, tournaments, and other events that promote the sport and encourage participation.
