How to Equip Your Tennis Bag

A well-equipped tennis bag prepares you for any situation on game day or at practice time.

• STEP 1: Invest in a good bag. A special tennis bag, which looks like a rectangular duffel bag, allows you to pack rackets and other equipment without the racket sticking out.
• STEP 2: Pack at least one extra, well-strung tennis racket.
• STEP 3: Include at least one new can of tennis balls.
• STEP 4: Remember to pack first-aid equipment, such as adhesive and elastic bandages and a dry-ice bag.
• STEP 5: Pack extra T-shirts and a towel.
• STEP 6: Include a water bottle, energy drink, sunglasses and sunscreen.
• STEP 7: Put in extra wristbands and a hat or other headgear.
• STEP 8: Include an extra pair of shoelaces, just in case.
• STEP 9: Consider including a pack of vitamins and some snacks.

Tips

• Use only a specially designed tennis bag when you travel, so expensive rackets are not a visible target for thieves.
• Make sure your bag has a separate compartment for sweaty clothes or shoes.
