Description
A racket bag that carries up to four pickleball paddles or two tennis rackets and wears as a backpack or grabs as a tote. Slip and zippered pockets plus expanding inner dividers organize gear, balls, and personal items, an exterior pocket holds a water bottle, and a trolley sleeve on the back slides over a suitcase handle for travel. Quick-grab handles and adjustable padded straps make it easy to carry. The finished bag is 15 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 4¾ inches deep at the top, widening to 14½ inches wide and 7¼ inches deep at the base.

Why You'll Love This Pattern
Courtside is built around the gear. Expanding inner dividers open to hold up to four pickleball paddles or two tennis rackets, then collapse when the bag carries less. Slip and zippered pockets sort balls, keys, and a phone, and an exterior pocket holds a water bottle within reach.
It carries two ways. Quick-grab handles lift it like a tote, and adjustable padded straps wear it as a backpack for hands-free walking. The trolley sleeve on the back slides over a suitcase handle for travel, and Soft and Stable gives the bag the structure to stand and hold its shape when packed.
