Keywords:
coaches, modified tennis equipment, constraints based approach, perceptionsAbstract
Coaches have an instrumental role to play in attracting and retaining more people of all ages in the sport of tennis. The tools that
they use can enhance that objective. Over the past decade the research in scaled tennis equipment has intensified along with the
use by coaches. It is appropriate at this juncture to understand what the perceptions of coaches using scaled tennis equipment.
With this insight, best practices can be developed to be shared with other coaches to maximize the growth of our sport.
