    Abstract: A ball holder and dispenser utilizes a substantially hollow cylindrical rigid container, having both ends open. Each open end is configured to resist the injection or exiting of the balls, otherwise capable of being stored therewithin. The mechanism is provided with an elongated slot extending along a portion of the exterior surface of the cylinder, facilitating the injection of the lowermost ball by passing such lowermost ball through an overcomeable retaining mechanism. The balls may be retained in preferred locations within the cylinder prior to ejection. The cylinder is provided with means for removably attaching the cylinder to portions of the users clothing, thereby permitting the apparatus to be carried by the user during the playing of games involving the use of one or more balls stored within the container.
