The other inconvenience is that if you want to play tennis and you are wearing pants that don't have pockets or have small pockets then it makes it harder to play tennis. It is also an inconvenience to change into another outfit, and some tennis courts do not have a place where you can change.
  • My invention has an adjustable belt to fit most waists, two pockets that hold 3 tennis balls each and is small enough to fit into a tennis bag.
  • This belt enables tennis players to have easy access to tennis balls.
  • This belt allows the tennis player to wear clothes without pockets and still have easy access to tennis balls.
  • This belt can be kept with other tennis items, it does not take up a lot of room, and it could easily be kept in a tennis bag. Also, if there is no place to change into a tennis outfit, that is not a problem with this belt because it fits over all clothing.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • To make the belt, first get a one-inch fabric that has some elastic quality. The fabric can be any color. Insert each end of the fabric into one space of the plastic no-sew clip and then pull through the other space on the clip. This secures the fabric onto the clip and creates your belt. (FIG. 1) This no-sew clip allows the belt to be adjustable and able to fit most waists. Cut either a mesh-like fabric or a cotton-polyester mix fabric approximately 11 inches long and 9 inches wide. Sew up the bottom and the sides, leaving the top open. (FIG. 2) This is the pocket. Sew about 2 inches of the same fabric used for the belt onto the top left and right corners of the pocket. This places the pockets below the waist and makes them easier to access. (FIG. 3) Sew the fabric onto the fabric of the belt. (FIG. 4) Repeat the process for the other pocket. This completes the belt with the fabric attached to the clip and with both pockets sewn on. (FIG. 5)
