Question:

Why do you need to wash tennis team uniforms?

Be Wary Before they Wear

High school kids are not known to be the cleanest organisms on the planet. Top that with the fact that some team uniforms tend to be hand-me-downs and you have a recipe for micro-creepy crawlies to invade your child's body.

So before your child throws on that tennis team uniform you might want to throw it in the wash a couple of times for good measure. Add a little color safe bleach to be on the safe side. Also, remind your child to bring home their team uniform during the season for a wash. If not, chances are it'll sit in their locker all year long.

Q. Could you suggest a tennis racket which is easy on the arm. I have been told that a less stiffer racket is easier on your arm. I am not sure if this is true. However, I would be willing to try just about anything. I have problems from serving with aches and pains in my forearm, elbow, and shoulder if I play on consecutive days. Any tips or recommendations on rackets would be appreciated.
