✅ The Essentials

You can't play without these. This is the core gear you must bring every single time.

  • Paddle: Your weapon of choice. Can't play without it!
  • Balls: Bring at least 3-4 balls. Make sure you have outdoor or indoor balls depending on your court.
  • Proper Shoes (Court Shoes): The right shoes (court or tennis shoes) to protect your ankles. Never wear running shoes.
  • Water/Sports Drink: Stay hydrated! This is crucial, especially in Hong Kong's hot weather.

👍 The Highly Recommended

While not strictly necessary, these items will greatly enhance your comfort, safety, and overall playing experience.

  • Athletic Apparel: Moisture-wicking shirt and shorts/skirt to keep you dry.
  • Pickleball Bag: A dedicated bag to keep all your gear organized.
  • Towel: To wipe off sweat and keep your body and grip dry.
  • Cap/Visor: To block the sun and reduce glare on outdoor courts.
  • Sunglasses/Eyewear: To protect your eyes from the sun and accidental ball impacts.
  • Overgrips/Headband: A must for players who sweat a lot from their hands or head. You might bring a spare overgrip for a mid-game change.
  • Sunscreen: A health essential for outdoor sports.
  • Change of Clothes & Socks: Changing into a dry set of clothes after playing feels incredibly refreshing.
  • Snacks: A banana or an energy bar to quickly refuel after a long session.
  • Basic First-Aid: Items like band-aids and antiseptic wipes, just in case.
