"What's in my tennis bag?" - Essentials for the New Year

With some tennis courts open year round, we're excited to start packing our tennis bags again! Tennis is also a great way to get started with your new years resolution to get active!

According to Healthline - "Tennis is a high intensity activity. A 154-pound (69.9-kg) person can burn 220–295 calories for each 30 minutes of playing the game."

That's a great way to really crush your goals! Check out our playing tennis in winter post to find out how to start in January! So let's see what's in our tennis bag to get us motivated.

Tennis bag essentials

There are a tonne of things you'd need to fill a tennis bag. Let's break them down.

  • Tennis equipment
    • Tennis racquet
    • Tennis balls
    • Spare strings, grips, tape, and dampeners
  • Tennis shoes
  • A towel
    • YES! A towel is invaluable, especially in the summertime when you're sweating on the court. Toweling yourself down is going to keep you comfortable, and not give you a chill in the winter.
  • Sunscreen and a hat
    • You might think this is a given, but most tennis courts are outdoors, so you're going to get a couple of hours in the sunshine at least! Adding sunscreen and a hat will help protect you from the harsh UVA and UVB rays.
  • A jacket
    • Counter-intuitive, we know, but when you're working out and sweating and you don't slowly reduce your core temperature, you're more at risk to experience an injury or feel ill afterwards. Read our post on post-workout jackets here.
  • Spare clothes and socks
    • After you're done working out, you may be a little sweaty, so changing into a warm, dry set of clothes will keep you loving your workout from start to finish.
