Step 1
Select tennis shorts from a line created by your favorite sporting-goods company. Adidas, Nike and Fila are popular among tennis players for all things related to tennis, including tennis shorts.

Check the fabric from which the shorts are made. Tennis shorts made out of a fabric that stretches, such as a spandex and polyester combination, will allow you to move easily on the court.

Step 3
Ensure that the tennis shorts also have moisture-wicking inserts. Moisture-wicking fabrics help to eliminate discomfort by sweeping the sweat away from your body and out to the surface of the fabric.

Step 4
Choose a pair of tennis shorts with pockets if you will need places to store extra balls during a game. This will help to maintain your drive because you won't have to keep walking off the court to search your bags for another ball.

Select shorts with an elasticized waist or a pair with drawstrings for a customized fit. You can also buy a pair of tennis shorts with both an elasticized waist and drawstrings.

Check your club's rules regarding tennis attire. If you are a member of a club that has rules regarding what you can wear on the courts, you will need to defer to its requirements.
