What to Pack In Your Tennis Bag

The first time I got a tennis bag, I didn't know what to pack. I know I'm not the only one. There are so many essential things you need to have at all times. Whether you are playing a match or just out practicing, it is important to have these 10 things in your tennis bag.

1) Tennis rackets. You need to have about 3 tennis rackets in your bag. You can have more or less depending on your level of play.
2) Water. It is crucial to have water at all times. Getting dehydrated is not fun when you are in the middle of an important match.
3) Extra clothes. You need to have a spare change of clothes. Extra t-shirt, socks, and hats.
4) Towels/Wristbands. When you're sweating, it's good to have a towel/wristband on hand. It prevents slippery grips and you're not dripping in sweat.
5) Sunscreen. In the summer, you have to have sunscreen.
6) First Aid Kit. A pack of bandages is good to have in case of a blister/scrape.
7) Extras. You never know when you'll need extra overgrips, strings, shock dampeners or lead tapes.
8) Skipping rope. For your warm up, it's good to have a skipping rope on hand.
9) Food/Drinks. It's good if you have energy bars or energy drinks in case you get tired or have to play for a long time.
10) Notebook. It's a good idea to have a notebook. There, you can record your scores, mistakes, questions or things you want to work on.

This is what I keep in my tennis bag. It's good to be prepared. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
