Abstract

The main objective of this research is to find out the differences in the duration of the points and playing actions when playing on smaller courts, and with lower pressure orange balls vs yellow balls on a full court. In order to do so, 8 competition children were analysed in 16 matches played to 11 points. The results showed significant differences in the length of the points, the total number of strokes per point and the percentage of winners in favour of the adapted material, which confirms the efficacy of the adaptations of the ITF by means of the “Tennis Play & Stay” programme.
