Tennis: Applied Examples of a Game-Based Teaching Approach
Crespo, Miguel; Reid, Machar M.; Miley, Dave
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v17 n4 p27-30 Mar-Apr 2004
In this article, the authors reveal that tennis has been increasingly taught with a tactical model or game-based approach, which emphasizes learning through practice in match-like drills and actual play, rather than in practicing strokes for exact technical execution. Its goal is to facilitate the player's understanding of the tactical, physical and psychological challenges of the game. Integrating technique coaching into game situations gives players the opportunity to experience the manner in which technique may be performed more effectively. Therefore, when players play, they should focus on the tactical intentions and the biomechanics, and see technique as a means of performing the tactic more effectively. These recommendations on new teaching methods can be used with players at all levels of performance. Here, the authors advise that physical educators and coaches use these modern teaching techniques for better performance and to the satisfaction of their players. (Contains 5 tables.)
