What clothes to wear to play tennis in Winter? A frequently asked question that we have covered to ensure when you train during cooler periods you stay warm.
What to wear to play tennis in winter?
When playing tennis or training on cooler days it is vital that your muscles are kept warm. Even indoor centres and inflated covered courts can be cold creating a risk for muscle injury to play tennis in winter.
We at Zoe Alexander have always considered the best fabric to have close to the skin is breathable cotton and not synthetics. In particular the body trunk does not need synthetic fabrics which cause extremes of heat then cold following sweating. A breathable cotton fabric next to the skin encourages a more gentle rise in temperature during training avoiding pools of sweat on the back which cool the body quickly.
Synthetic fleece materials are best worn over breathable cotton to retain the heat as they do not breathe but will keep the warmth in. We recommend for girls our cotton long sleeve training top and leggings with ball pocket as the most appropriate base layer to wear during cold training days made with 210 gsm breathable cotton fabric mixed with 5% elastane to give some comfort stretch during play. (see example below) It comes in a variety of colours to suit the needs of your outfit.
Synthetic Fleece Long Sleeve Tops and Hoodies
After the cotton base layer the body trunk and arms need the insulative properties of a synthetic fleece long sleeve top of which we have a selection to offer at Zoe Alexander.
From full winter polar fleece tops and hoodies to fleece lined training tops and balaclavas and gilet puffa jacket tops we have you covered. These serve to trap the warmth from your body and arms, keeping you agile and flexible even on the coldest of days.
Take a look at the variety of tops we have for you to choose from our category of tennis hoodies and sweatshirts.
Tennis Fleece Lined Leggings with Ball Pocket
Zoe Alexander also offers girls the option of fleece lined leggings with a ball pocket suitable for either left or right handed players. Again you have a choice from many colours and matching collections to team up with your tennis tops or dresses for training and matches.
These leggings are perfectly suitable for training as well as wearing during matches if you are playing hard court outside in cooler climates. The level of elastane combined with the flexibility of the polyester fabric enables players to move with ease and yet keep leg muscles warm and flexible to avoid injury.
