A tennis ball pack apparatus for dispensing balls in one mode of operation while positioned on a player\s back and retrieving balls in another mode of operation upon removal from the back. An elongated housing which is strapped to the player\s back includes two pairs of spaced walls which have different lengths to define predetermined openings adjacent to an oblong shaped bottom made up of flexible connected rod members. During the ball dispensing mode the player grips a ball through an opening and pulls against the flexible rod members to dispense the balls in seriatim. A U-shaped frame which is in slidable engagement with the walls of the housing is movable from a first position closely adjacent to the housing when operating in the ball dispensing mode while on the player\s back to a second position extended from the housing when operating in a ball retrieving mode upon removal of the housing from the player\s back.

Ball pack apparatus for dispensing and retrieving tennis balls comprising, an elongated housing for storing tennis balls while positioned on a player\s back including a first pair of spaced walls having a relatively narrow spacing which is at least the diameter of a tennis ball, and a second pair of spaced walls having a spacing larger than said relatively narrow spacing; said housing having an oblong shaped bottom for supporting tennis balls including a plurality of flexible connected rod members, at least some of said rod members being sufficiently displaceable upon flexing thereof enabling balls to be forcibly inserted therebetween; said second pair of walls extending for a predetermined length which is less than said first pair to define at least one opening adjacent to the bottom at the ends thereof enabling balls to be dispensed through the opening in seriatim by gripping a ball and imparting a predetermined force against the bottom; and a U-shaped frame extending across the top of said housing and downwardly in close proximity with said second pair of walls, said U-shaped frame being slidable in engagement with said second pair of walls from a first position adjacent to the housing when operating in a ball dispensing mode while on the player\s back to a second position extended from the housing when operating in a ball retrieving mode upon removal of the housing from said player\s back.
