METHODS AND MEANS OF LEARNING THE BASIC SHOTS OF THE GAME OF TENNIS AT THE 8-10 YEARS AGE CATEGORY.

I chose this theme, due to the interest that I developed during my university training, for educating, training and learning the basic strokes of the game of tennis for beginner children. Through the present work we aim to make a useful contribution and relevant to existing practice regarding the benefits of learning the correct ball striking technique for the forehand, forehand and service stroke. The sample investigated in the research will be represented by subjects between the ages of 7-10 years from the High School with Sports Program "N. Rotaru" from Constanța. The current game of tennis is characterized by great dynamism, the player being put in the position to think and act quickly for the effective application of the technical-tactical arsenal, in the diversity of adversity situations. Thus, beginner players at the age of 8-10 need to learn the most correct technique in order to be able to carry out any tactical plan in order to win matches in competitions. The general objective of the research is to observe to what extent the new methods and means proposed for improving the basic shots help to make the learning process more efficient for children in training and to improve the tennis game at the mentioned age.
