Before the trip

Our travel conditions

Have you already booked your tennis trip with tennisresor.net? Here are some tips on what to think about in the weeks before your trip and things to bring with you.

  • We have no requirements for your level of play, but it might be a good idea to play tennis a few times before you travel to get the most out of your training. Otherwise, it's easy to get blisters on your hands if you want to attend all the tennis sessions that week.

  • Remember to let us know your arrival and departure times, including flight number, in good time so we can arrange a transfer from and to the airport.

Good to have with you:

  • Tennis racket – Check if your racket will fit in your suitcase or what your airline requires for bringing the racket. If you don't want to bring your own racket, we have equipment to borrow or buy.

  • At least two newly strung rackets - Grass tennis is hard on the tendons and to avoid having to re-string, you should bring as many newly strung rackets as possible. Should you break a tendon, we can re-string your racket.

  • Plenty of change for all sessions. Mallorca is often warm and sunny by our standards even in autumn and spring, so you are guaranteed to get sweaty.

  • Sunscreen, if you burn easily.

  • Tennis shoes - If you are going to play on clay in Mallorca, it is important that you have a pair of tennis shoes that are adapted to clay.
  • Sunglasses or a cap to avoid being disturbed by the sun during training.

  • Sweatbands for wrists and forehead. When playing tennis in the heat, it's nice to not have sweat in your eyes.

  • Sandals, nice to put on after a hard workout. Your feet need a rest.

  • Our mobile numbers, in case you need to contact us.

Tennis level of play

1. Complete beginner, barely held a racket before.

2. Sometimes passes the ball over.

3. Knows the basics of the game but is not comfortable with certain strokes, such as serve and volley.

4. Has played for a year, or a couple of years ago. Knows the basics well and can put some speed on the ball but is very inconsistent.

5. Has played for a couple of years but is not a super talent. Gets the ball over most of the time with decent pressure. But a bit inconsistent.

6. Like level 5 but much smoother and misses less, more ball-sure. Mastering most strokes.

7. Has probably competed a bit or played recreationally for as long as he/she can remember. Very confident with the ball and probably has a winning shot.

8. Can hit hard and has several winning shots. Mastered all the shots of the game and the only thing missing to reach a higher level is continuity and better physique.

9. Competed at the highest level in his country and has played most of his life. Excellent at all types of strokes and fears no opposition.

10. Like Björn Borg or equivalent in his heyday, but a little better.
