Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
An all-in-one Head skort for women gives a tennis-day look, with built-in shorts beneath and moisture-wicking comfort when the third set drifts past dusk. I'd wear it feeling fondly misplaced, asking for the palace lit, Chamundi Hill climbed, and every thought sent back to Mysore.
Head Dynamic Performance Women's Tennis Skort: Mysore Palace was rebuilt after the fire of 1897, with Indo-Saracenic drama outside and Hoysala echoes within; back home, my hallway only has one echo, and it is usually me asking where I left my keys. The skort looks ready for royal footwork, which makes me miss my cracked local court in the sweetest, silliest way.
Head Dynamic Performance Women's Tennis Skort: Chamundi Hill is crowned by the Chamundeshwari temple, so naturally I huffed up thinking of the hill behind home and how it politely stops being a hill after three minutes. This skort, unlike me, appears to have brought dignity to the climb.
Head Dynamic Performance Women's Tennis Skort: Jaganmohan Palace is now an art gallery, which makes me nostalgic for the refrigerator gallery back home, curated entirely with magnets and guilt. The skort stands here like it knows the difference between a masterpiece and a laundry day, and I respect that.
Head Dynamic Performance Women's Tennis Skort: St Philomena's Church is Mysore's Gothic-styled cathedral, and its pointed arches made me think of colder old cities where even the pigeons look educated. I miss home, but the skort seems perfectly happy being the neatest little traveller in a place built for looking upward.
A skort. And I have to tell you, the first time I saw one properly explained I laughed, because it is such a simple answer to a problem people had put up with for a hundred years: a skirt on the outside, shorts underneath, one garment. You lunge, you stretch wide for a low ball, you sit on a bench between games, and nothing about your clothing enters your mind.
That is the entire idea and it does not need any more than that.
The fabric is moisture-wicking, which is the feature that matters in the heat: sweat comes off the skin and goes out to the surface where the air can take it, so what you are wearing stays light through a long third set instead of turning into something you are carrying. Beyond that I will not embroider.
It is an athletic skort, made for playing tennis in, and it is at its best on the sort of long, hot afternoon that leaves you sitting in the shade afterwards not wanting to move.
And it is homesick for Mysore, which is a city I think about more than I should. The palace there is Indo-Saracenic on the outside and Hoysala within, rebuilt after the fire of 1897, and on the nights they light it the whole building goes gold in one switch.
Up on Chamundi Hill, at the top of a very long climb, the Chamundeshwari temple sits with the whole city laid out below — and I have stood up there in the evening and felt so far from home that the feeling turned into something almost sweet.
"Skirt outside, shorts underneath, and your clothing never enters your mind again."
