I looked all last summer in stores and on line but never found any shorts that I can use for tennis. There are lots of skirts out there, but no shorts. I find shorts more comfortable and more practical. The problem is I need a pocket that will hold at least one ball. Many "sport shorts" have no pockets at all or teeny ones for a key. What I really want is white, but that seems unattainable. And preferably not too short.
Any ideas for me? TIA

Lands End Performance Sport Shorts. The MP3 Player POcket works beautifully for a tennis ball (on the pants I have at least)

Those Lands' End shorts look awfully short. I need at least a 5-6 " inseam. Any more ideas?

My son orders a lot of tennis apparel & equipment from Tennis Warehouse. Here's the women's shorts selection:

Title Nine has some shorts but not white.
Here are a couple of options for white tennis shorts:

Thanks for all the suggestions. It is maddening when "fashion" takes over practicality in sports clothes. Those skirts look good on the stars, but not on most of us!

I meant to come back to this thread to say
1) I feel your pain, I like "longer" shorts (at least 5") but all the women's tennis shorts seem to have like a 3" inseam. No thanks.
2) I checked those lands end shorts posted up thread and they have a 4.5" inseam.
So, not much help but I can empathize and I'm on the look out too so I'll let you know if I find anything.
