• a removable seal enclosing the second open end and including a pull tab;
• an annular overcap removably attached to the second open end of the cylindrical body, the annular overcap including a peripheral rim for engaging an outer surface of the container at the second open end, and a lip projecting from the peripheral rim toward the longitudinal axis, the lip extending over a portion of the second open end, the lip extending over a portion of the removable seal and over a portion of the pull tab, the lip defining a first opening, the lip configured to inhibit the at least one tennis ball from passing through the first opening, the annular overcap defining at least one breakaway region for facilitating breaking of the annular overcap when separated from the second end of the cylindrical body, the annular overcap being formed from a resilient plastic and the at least one breakaway region being configured such that (1) the annular overcap is configured to be repeatedly removed from and reattached to the second end of the cylindrical body with the at least one breakaway region and the annular overcap remaining intact and (2) the annular overcap completely ruptures in response to at least one breakaway region being broken.
