What should my child wear for tennis?

Comfort is key! Children should wear comfortable, active-friendly clothing like shorts, tracksuit bottoms, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies. No jeans and heavy coats. For footwear, we recommend comfortable trainers to prevent slips and minimize foot and ankle injuries on the court. Check out our online shop for our TennAce club kit which is now available!
