What Equipment Do You Need For Tennis?


The programs listed above have balls and rackets for players to use. Your child may want to wear comfortable sneakers to run in and maybe bring a water bottle for hydration. If you're looking for tennis equipment of your own, Dick's is a great sporting goods store for in-person shopping and Wilson is a trusted sports brand online.

Until next time...
