I stay in shape for indoor 6's by playing doubles in the offseason and I stay in shape for doubles by playing indoor 6's during the offseason.

Actually, one of the things I was noting during doubles tourneys that a lot of making it out of pool is skill and a lot of winning playoffs is stamina. I do a fair amount of cardio in the warmer weather and that helps keep me in the game when some others are fatiguing. (That is assuming I made it out of pool

)

I agree, especially the playoffs part in doubles....(and also who else is in your draw)...

There is an off season?

I play 4 days a week, two tourneys a month.

I just exercise, aka 60 minutes per-day when I'm not playing. I can say burning 600 calories per making eating Wendy's worth it.

I run 4 miles three or four times a week, and have a Pilates/resistance program that I do 3x a week. I play indoors twice a week just to keep skills.
