RACQUET SPORTS INDOOR WINTER TENNIS TIPS (QUICK HITS) Even though we’re indoors, winter tennis still places extra demands on your body. A few smart habits can help you feel better on court and play your best during the indoor season. Warm up before you hit Muscles are tighter in the winter months, even indoors, so taking time to warm up is key. Our warm-up and stretching area is a great place to get ready before play. A few minutes on the bike, dynamic stretching, or light band work can make a big difference, especially before serving. Start slow Use the first few minutes on court to rally at an easy pace and gradually build intensity. Focus on footwork and timing before going full speed. Take advantage of indoor conditions Indoor courts are ideal for working on your timing, serve and return, and net play. Use this time to groove your strokes so you get the most out of the indoor season and are ready when outdoor season arrives. Don’t skip the cool-down Stretching after play, especially in the new warm-up area, can help reduce stiffness and soreness later in the day or the next morning. Listen to your body Winter tennis often comes with lingering tightness. If something doesn’t feel right, take a break or stop, staying healthy now means more court time later. Indoor season is the perfect opportunity to build a strong foundation, stay injury-free, and be fully ready when we transition outdoors.
