Tennis teaching, like all teaching, has evolved considerably since the 1970s, a time when it was not uncommon to see up to twenty players, children or adults, on the same tennis court in front of an instructor, “shadowing” tennis strokes without ever hitting a ball or playing rallies with a partner. Gradually, the idea that technique is only a means to an end, the game of tennis itself, has gained ground. Now, in most tennis schools around the world, one can see children “playing tennis” from the very first sessions. This goes hand in hand with the evolution of society and the “democratic”, individual-oriented, empathic and interactive teaching style (Reid, Crespo, 2009), which is now prevalent in sports teaching.
