  • Publication number: 20080230580
    Abstract: An apparatus is described having a wide piece of stretchy fabric or other material worn around a person's waist, hips, arm, or thigh, that is adapted to hold balls snuggly against the person while performing an activity, such as playing tennis. Balls may be placed in the front, side or back of the person. Tension from the belt's elasticity, and friction from the fabric contacting the surface of the ball, for example the nap of the tennis ball, prevents the ball from slipping or rolling down the body. Balls may be accessed easily by reaching under the band of fabric from either the top or bottom of the band and pulling the ball out, or applying pressure to the top of the ball through the band and pushing the ball out. The device may be worn independently or may be integrated as an outer layer to a garment. The number of balls the person may carry is determined by the size person, width and circumference of the band, and comfort during activity.
