ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical unit of varying lengths which stores sports balls, with unit capable of attaching to any solid object in a vertical position, close to a sports court or storage area. The unit also serves as a ball transporter, carried in a horizontal or vertical position, with attached handles allowing sports balls to be moved from one sports site or storage area, another. A one piece unit with an opening at one end only, therefore reducing the sports balls exposure, to ball depleting weather, and offers security, by allowing the open end to be locked by a transverse rod across the open end. Balls are contained in storage unit by protrusions located internally, at the open end, positioned at the greatest apex of the ball allowing sports balls to be completely enclosed within the storage unit. Protrusions hold the ball at a distal position within storage unit allowing balls to be loaded and unloaded easily with a single hand. A rod the length of the storage unit has attached a cross of equal diameter as the storage unit. The rod runs internally and centrally the length of the storage unit, exiting the closed end acting as a ball indicator moving parallel to the storage unit as balls are inserted and removed.
