9th Edition Tennis Curriculum
Physical Educators Guide for Teaching Tennis in Schools kit includes a teachers manual with eight lesson plans, a quick reference pocket guide, a DVD featuring class management and how to teach tennis without tennis courts, and a CD with illustrated fitness and tennis activity signs.
The lessons are created for teachers, by teachers--fellow educators who understand the realities that physical educators face every day. They are specifically designed to fit the unique time and scheduling needs of schools.
• They are purpose-built to be flexible enough to handle different numbers of students, from a small group of children to a large group.
• They are easy to adapt and implement in any environment--even with limited space.
• They have been extensively field tested in a variety of school settings.
• They have been created to be fun and challenging for all kids--regardless of physical abilities or disabilities.
The goals for the students are simple:
• To build early confidence in the game of tennis--one of the very few sports they can literally play for a lifetime.
• To realize the health benefits of exercise in a way that is interesting for them.
• And, most important, to have fun. After all, it's their game.
This comprehensive new curriculum was developed through a successful collaboration with Dr. Robert Pangrazi, Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University and Deborah Pangrazi, Physical Education Coordinator, Mesa Public Schools, as well as an elite group of physical education and tennis specialists from around the country. The USTA is deeply indebted to all the collaborators who helped create this new curriculum.
Physical Educators Guide for Teaching Tennis in Schools is available from the Gopher Catalog for $49.95.
