What are fancy pants and why do I need them for tennis?

Question

My coach said everybody on the team needs them.

Are they underwear?

Why can't I wear my own?

What are they for?

Do I wear them with all my tennis clothes?

Any help would be nice

Thanks!

Fancy pants are just a brand of bloomers.  Your team uniform probably consists of a classic style tennis skirt.  Most tennis skirts don't require them anymore, but the some classic designs still do.  You can buy them at tenniswarehouse.com or most tennis pro shops.  (btw I only know this because I worked in a pro shop)
