Abstract: An elongated tubular member for retrieving and dispensing deformable balls, such as tennis balls, is provided with retrieving structure at one extremity and dispensing structure at the opposite extremity. The retrieving structure forms an inlet opening having internal projections requiring deformation of a ball being forced through the inlet opening. The dispensing structure forms primary and secondary dispensing openings and a restraining lip preventing inadvertent movement of the lowermost ball through the primary dispensing opening. The dispensing structure also forms a manual access opening, permitting access to the lowermost ball by the fingers of the user to permit dispensing movement of the lowermost ball. The dispensing structure also includes a closure and dispensing cap positionable for closing the dispensing opening to secure balls within the tubular member for storage and positionable to permit dispensing of balls from the dispensing opening.

The dispensing structure also forms a rotatable closure for the dispensing opening to secure balls within the tubular member for storage. The tubular member is formed by telescoping tube sections permitting the tubular member to be collapsed for storage or extended for use.
