Equipment

Racket, tennis ball, shoes, and a dress code are mandatory equipment for the sport. Apart from player needs, the tennis court needs a net to separate playing area of each player. 

Racket

The head of the racket is tightly woven with strings which are made of various materials like nylon, gut or synthetic gut. The handles are covered with leather or nylon for a better grip.

Ball

The spherical balls are covered with bright yellow colored felt. Kids aged ten and under play with different colored balls. They move slower, bounce lower. They are also softer and larger and are easy for kids to hit them.

Net

A rectangular net is used to separate the two sides of a Tennis court. The net should cover the space between the two net posts.

Wrist Bands

Wrist bands are worn around wrists to prevent sweat from wetting the players’ palm or the racket.

Head Bands

Headbands are used to absorb sweat. They also tie player’s hair away from their face

Tennis shoes

Tennis shoes are designed to give players better stability and prevent them from sliding while moving sideways.
