If you have given your balls name parameter a value you can simply access it with ig.game.getEntityByName() method.

var ball = ig.game.getEntityByName('ball');

If your ball does not have a name parameter, you can fetch all instances of ball entity with ig.game.getEntitiesByType() method.

var balls = ig.game.getEntitiesByType( EntityBall );

And if you have a single instance of ball you can directly access it with

var ball = ig.game.getEntitiesByType( EntityBall )[0];

this is the solution I was looking for, thank you so much,
definitely will help me.
