pass

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'ticket' is the first definition.
(I know that pass is a type of ticket)

'ball' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pass that I've seen before include "Bad situation" , "Don't answer a question" , "Hand over < identity card" , "Decline to answer" , "failure in quiz" .)
