The Original BALLBAG - a brief history

Doug Rugg, founder of the Original BALLBAG carried the idea around with him to manufacture and sell his unique bags from a childhood experience. As a child in Orange County, California, there were many sunny days to be out on a basketball court in the summer and after school. Each day, he would ride his bike to the Boy's Club to shoot hoops. His mode of transportation, his bike, was great - except when trying to get home with a drink in one hand and a basketball in the other. His problem played out one day as he lost his balance and crashed his bike into a parked car.

That memory stayed with him, and he knew the answer was in a small carrier for his single basketball that he could use as a backpack, or over the shoulder, hands free bag. Decades later, this idea became the Original BALLBAG reality.
