Lesson #1. What do you need in your bag?

As a beginner, it is not always easy to pack your tennis bag before practice or a match. Here is a list of the main elements you need and additional items that could be useful as well.

Essentials:

• Tennis bag - Big enough to contain the next elements
• Rackets (with strings on) - 2 rackets are better in case you break your string
• Water bottle - Hydration comes first!
• Tennis balls - A can of new balls can be useful for a tennis match
• Hat/Visor - For sunny days

Additional elements: 

When you reach an intermediate level in tennis some items may be as important. 

• Towel - Especially if you sweat a lot
• Snacks - Bananas or cereal bars preferred
• Overgrips - Used overgrips may be uncomfortable or hurt your hand, so it is wiser to change it often.
•  Sunscreen - If you play outdoors most of the time 
• Extra pair of socks and shirts - After a tough day on the court. Better be prepared!

All of these items can be decisive in the winning process. Now you have all the knowledge to enjoy your hitting!
