Abstract: A sports bag stand or tennis bag stand designed to be attached to a tennis bag or other sports bag. The stand and bag are attached, preferably using bungee cords with balls, although it can be attached in other ways. There are at least two attachment points needed on the bag which could be a shoulder strap, backpack strap, grab handle, or other point on the object. The stand is generally rectangular in shape. The object attached to the top frame of the sports bag stand or tennis bag stand, is generally horizontally oriented. In the folded or closed position, the object attached to the stand, can be carried or stored. The mechanism for the legs enables them to pivotally move between the unfolded or open position, and the folded or closed position, and controls the range of motion for each leg. One leg of the stand extends out or is kicked out to provide additional stability to the structure.
