How to Choose the Proper Tennis Outfit
Wearing proper clothes when playing tennis or any other sport is not only for fashion’s sake. Let’s talk about the appropriate head-to-toe clothing for tennis.
1. Head -
When your children are playing on an outdoor tennis court, it is advisable to wear a cap, a visor or a headband to shield your eyes
from the sun. While these are not needed, they are ideal since you might get dazed by the sun during your play, and this may result
in unsatisfactory performance. Additionally, these will assist prevent sweat from irritating your eyes.
2. Trunk -
Both boys and girls generally wear a shirt while playing tennis. A cotton mix shirt, whether with sleeves or not, will make you feel
more relaxed and comfier. Beware, though, that there are courts that don’t allow sleeveless shirts, so check their rules first.
Be sure to wear a shirt that lets you move as liberally as possible, but is not too loose for your trunk. Purchasing a pair of tennis
shorts is a good buy because manufacturers make sure that they are specially made to wick away sweat and to provide ease of
movement.
For girls, tank tops are acceptable in most courts. But, it’s still best to check the rules of the private court where you’re going to play
with regards to their rules concerning tank tops. Ideally, girls and women should wear tank tops that have built-in shelf-bras for a
more comfortable play. Still, for women and girls, one-piece tennis dresses are a trendy and comfortable outfit when playing. Or,
you may choose to wear a tennis skirt or a short (skirt with built-in shorts). Tennis clothing for girls is available in many sports stores.
When purchasing kids’ tennis outfits, make sure that they are either fitted or slightly loose so the child will be able to enjoy her game
without any comfort issues. If you are living in a place with a cool climate, warm-up suits are recommended when going in and
out of the court. You must not wear them while playing since you are going to feel warm with all the running and swinging anyway.
3. Feet -
Tennis shoes worn with socks are strictly required at all tennis courts. Before, players are required to wear only white-soled tennis
shoes to protect the surface of the court. However, this rule depends on the court where you are playing, as many brands now offer tennis shoes with coloured soles.
4. Accessories -
It is ideal to wear a wrist band on the arm that holds your racquet to support it against the effect or shock when connecting with the ball. Additionally, if you are prone to ankle sprains, you may want to wear ankle support during your play.
