ABSTRACT:
A ball container and dispenser is elevated in a standing position by a downwardly extending ball pickup tube and pivotable stand. The tube angles away from the container and dispenser so that the bottom of the tube is forward of the container and dispenser to pick up balls in front of the user. A hinged lid removably covers a top ball dispensing opening in the container and dispenser. The stand pivots to serve as a combination stand in the down position and lid locker in the up position. The rigid element snap fits into paired ridges protruding from the container and dispenser. A handle integral with the lid is shaped like a sports equipment handle and slopes toward the rear. The bottom of the tube is parallel to the ground and has a circular opening smaller than the ball. For hard balls, the opening has radial slots around the perimeter creating resilient tabs.
