Practical FAQ — index
Quick coaching-kit tips.
- Carry two working hoppers if you teach back-to-back groups.
- Emergency overgrips fix blister days and borrowed-racket lessons.
- Use a simple attendance note in the hopper lid — low-tech works.
- Do not leave pressurized cans baking in glass windshield heat.
- Targets should survive being stepped on; brittle plastic wastes money.
- Club closets need labels; portable kits need latching lids.
- Pack cones in a mesh bag so sand and court dust shake out.
- Weigh your trunk kit once; back injuries end coaching seasons.
