Comfort!Choose a t-shirt orvest and shorts thatallow you to move freelyand keep cool on court.
Girls allowedIf you wear a tennis dress or skirt,choose one that is light and comfortable.And get a ball clip to attach to the waistband.
Foot steps lead the wayAs a tennis players youre always on themove running, stopping, sliding, divingand twisting. So you will need shoes thatare strong, comfortable and support yourfeet. They also need plenty of air-holesso your feet dont get too hot!
Happy feet, tooCushioned socks are comfortable andsupport your feet and ankles while playingtennis. Socks that become sweaty or donot have cushioning can cause blisters.
The rock band lookWristbands and headbands are great forwiping away perspiration and keeping itout of your eyes. Baseball caps can helpif the sun is dazzling you.
