Quick answer: Court Sportswear sells tennis clothes for both: collared and plainer designs for club play where a dress code applies, and the funnier graphics for recreational and league nights where none does. Same polyester performance knit underneath either way, so the choice is about the room you are walking into rather than the shirt's performance. Start with Tennis Pilsner Club (Members & Guests) ($26.95), Bumped Up Against My Will ($25.95) and Continental Grip Lager ($26.95).

If you play USTA league tennis, you know the drill: you need a shirt that can handle three sets in Texas heat, survive being thrown in the wash with everything else, and ideally not look like every other performance tee at the club.

Here's the thing most tennis apparel brands miss — league players want personality. You're not on the ATP tour. You're playing 3.5 doubles on a Wednesday night and grabbing beers afterward. Your shirt should reflect that energy.
What Makes a Great League Tennis Shirt
Performance features matter more than you think once you're actually sweating through a third-set tiebreak. The non-negotiables are moisture-wicking fabric (polyester beats cotton every time for on-court performance), UPF sun protection (especially here in Texas where summer matches feel like playing inside a furnace), and odor resistance so your car doesn't smell like a gym bag on the drive home.
At Court Sportswear, every performance tee is built with 100% premium polyester, UPF 44+ sun protection, moisture-wicking technology, and stain release. These aren't just bullet points on a tag — they're the difference between finishing a match feeling decent and finishing it looking like you fell in a pool.

Style That Actually Says Something
The best part of tennis culture isn't the sport — it's everything around it. The post-match cold ones, the group text trash talk, the league night traditions. Our Beer & Tennis Collection celebrates all of it with beer can parody designs that get more compliments than your backhand. That collection lives at beer themed tennis shirts — about twenty label designs, each running across the tee, the tank, the long sleeve and the hoodie, so the Tuesday-night shirt and the cold-morning layer can be the same joke.
From vintage retro lagers to craft brew aesthetics, each design is a conversation starter. And unlike that faded cotton tee from the club pro shop, these shirts actually perform under pressure.
Finding Your Fit
Our performance tees come in sizes S through 4XL, in multiple colorways. The relaxed fit gives you full range of motion on every stroke — no riding up on the serve, no tightness across the chest on a wide forehand.
Whether you're shopping for yourself, outfitting a team, or looking for the perfect gift for the tennis player in your life, Court Sportswear has you covered.

Common questions
what type of shirt do tennis players wear?
A moisture-wicking polyester knit, in either a crew neck or a collared cut. Which of the two depends entirely on whether the venue has a dress code, not on how the shirt performs.
which brands sell tennis clothes for club vs recreational play?
Court Sportswear covers both: plainer and collared designs for club play where a code applies, and the funnier graphics for league nights and public courts where none does. Same knit underneath either way.
Do USTA leagues have a dress code?
League play itself asks only for tennis-appropriate clothing and non-marking shoes. The venue can be stricter than the league -- if a match is hosted at a private club, that club's rule is the one that applies.
