What to Pack in Your Pickleball Bag
Whether you're hitting the court for a casual game or preparing for a tournament, having a well-stocked pickleball bag can make all the difference. At Team Pickleball, we've designed the RePlay Pickleball Bag and RePlay Pickleball Backpack to help you stay organized and prepared. So if you are wondering what to pack in your pickleball paddle bag, here's your ultimate guide to packing your pickleball bag for a smooth and enjoyable game day.
1. Pickleball Paddles
Your Most Essential Gear
A high-quality paddle is crucial. Always pack at least one paddle, and consider a spare. The RePlay Pickleball Bag and RePlay Pickleball Backpack both feature padded paddle pockets to help safeguard your paddles from damage.
2. Pickleballs
Never Run Out
Ensure you have plenty of pickleballs for uninterrupted play. Our bags include dedicated pockets to keep your pickleballs secure and easily accessible.
3. Water Bottle
Stay Hydrated
Staying hydrated is vital during any physical activity. Carry a refillable water bottle in your bag to ensure you always have access to water. The RePlay Pickleball Backpack includes convenient side pockets to hold your water bottle securely and the RePlay Pickleball Backpack has pockets inside the tote that are great for storing water bottles.
4. Towel
Wipe Off Sweat
A towel is essential for wiping off sweat during and after matches. Keep a small, absorbent towel in your bag to stay dry and comfortable. Our bags have ample space to accommodate your towel without cramming.
5. Sports Apparel
Be Prepared for Changing Conditions
Pack an extra set of clothes, including shirts, shorts, and socks, to change into after your game. This is especially important if you play multiple matches or if the weather changes. The RePlay Pickleball Backpack features a ventilated compartment to keep your clothes fresh and separate from other items.
6. Shoes
Support and Comfort
Proper footwear is crucial for performance and injury prevention. Carry your pickleball shoes in your bag, and consider keeping an extra pair if you play frequently.
7. First Aid Kit
Safety First
A basic first aid kit can be a lifesaver in case of minor injuries. Include items like band-aids, antiseptic wipes, athletic tape, and pain relievers. Our bags have sufficient space to carry a compact first aid kit.
8. Sunscreen
Protect Your Skin
If you play outdoors, sunscreen is a must to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Keep a small bottle or tube of sunscreen in your bag for easy reapplication as needed.
9. Snacks
Energy Boost
Having some quick snacks like protein bars, fruit, or nuts can help keep your energy levels up during long matches. Store them in a separate pocket to avoid crushing and contamination.
10. Personal Items
Stay Connected and Secure
Don't forget personal items such as your phone, wallet, and keys. The RePlay Pickleball Bag and Backpack include secure, easy-to-access pockets for these essentials, ensuring they are safe and readily available.
11. Notepad and Pen
Track Your Progress
A notepad and pen can be useful for tracking your scores, jotting down strategies, or noting areas for improvement. Keep them in a small pocket within your bag.
12. Electrolyte Tablets
Replenish Lost Nutrients
Electrolyte tablets can help replenish lost nutrients and keep you hydrated, especially during intense matches. Keep a small pack in your bag for quick access.

Stay Clean
Hand sanitizer is essential for maintaining hygiene, especially after touching shared surfaces. Keep a small bottle in your bag for convenience.
