 The winter can pose a challenge for tennis players around the country.   It is not much fun playing tennis in cold weather and challenging conditions as tennis players in the north can attest. Here are some ideas for surviving cold weather tennis.

 

Find yourself a good tennis glove to keep your hands warm. Nothing can alter a tennis match more than playing with cold hands. It affects everything from grips to the shots you are willing to even try to hit in the match. Make sure the glove fits tightly and doesn't cause blisters.

 

Pocket warmers are very useful as well. They don’t cost a lot and can be a godsend during breaks to get those hands warmed back up.

 

Layer, layer, layer. Proper clothing is a must. Under Armor is wonderful. You want light-weight clothing that keeps the heat in while not hindering your movement and court coverage at all. Get some type of headwear as that is where we lose the majority of our heat.

 

Playing tennis in cold weather can be a challenge, but with these tips it can be done. It can allow a tennis enthusiast to get their winter tennis fix instead of having to patiently await warmer temperatures.
