What To Keep In Your Tennis Bag

Today I cleaned out my tennis bag - yeah me! It has been awhile since I have cleaned out my tennis bag and it was sort of a mess.

This is a comprehensive list of what we should all have in our tennis bag:

* one new can of balls
* at least two cans of practice balls
* racquets
* one towel
* visor
* sunscreen
* granola bar(s), peanut butter crackers etc.
* bottle of water and/or Gateraide
* small first aid kit with Bandaids
* Advil
* Icy Hot
* wrist bands
* extra hairbands and barrettes
* mints
* feminine supplies
* pen and small notepad
* scorekeeper (for those who need it)
* lipgloss
* hand sanitizer
* braces for elbows, knees, ankles (for those who need it)

Okay - how to organize all of these items - find a make-up case that will fit the Advil, mints, hair bands, barrettes, feminine supplies and lipgloss.

Put your granola bars in a ziplock bag. Find side pockets and zippered compartments for the first aid kit, water bottle and sunscreen. Roll your towel so that it doesn't take up a lot of room. Velcro your visor around the handle of your tennis bag.

Now you are ready to play!
