Athletico Sling Crossbody Backpack

If you’re an avid platform tennis player, then you’ll need a bag for your platform tennis paddle. One of the most important things to look at is the size of the bag. While you might only need to use one or two paddles during the game, you might want to bring some extras with you to the court just in case. Decide how many paddles you want to carry at one time in your bag. Some bags can accommodate two paddles while others can hold as many as 15.

You’ll also need to decide what else you’ll need to carry and whether there are enough pockets in the bag. Some players like to bring a towel, change of clothes, water, snacks and balls. You may also want to bring an extra pair of shoes and socks as well. Ensure the platform paddle tennis bag can accommodate all of your gear.

If you want to ensure your platform tennis paddles remain in good shape, decide whether you’d like a bag that has some protection. For example, some bags come with molded shells or thermal compartments.

• How do you like to carry your paddle bag? Some bags can be worn cross-body while others can be worn like a backpack. Some are adjustable, so you can choose how you want to carry the bag. This is especially important if you’re bringing a lot of gear and have a long way to go. Ensure the bag is comfortable to carry and won’t strain your back and shoulders.
• While most platform paddle tennis bags are in neutral colors like black or dark gray, you can also express your sense of style with a brightly colored bag that is pink, red, blue or orange. Some players like to match their equipment and gear for a professional look.
•  Opt for a platform paddle tennis bag that is waterproof. You could end up caught in the rain, so it’s important to ensure your equipment and gear remain dry and protected from the elements.
• If you play multiple racket sports, go with a bag that can accommodate all of your gear. For example, look for one that can hold tennis rackets, badminton rackets and pickleball paddles in addition to your platform tennis paddles.
