Abstract
In the year 2012 the International Tennis Federation changed the children’s competitive model of tennis,
splitting into three aged categories: “8 and under”, “9 years old” and “10 years old”. Each category now has
specific adjustments when compared to the previous competitive model. Thus, this study tries to answer the
following question: Are the adjustments made for the children’s competitive model of tennis according to the
goals of formation of the technical and tactical basic fundaments of tennis? Eleven tennis coaches (seven
women and four men) from clubs and academies from Porto Alegre, RS – Brazil were interviewed. All of them
had experience in coaching tennis for children. The results indicate a relevant improvement on the development of the tennis’ technical and tactical basic fundaments when compared to the previous competitive model. However, some adjustments are suggested by the coaches, especially for the “8 and under” and “10 years old” categories.
