TEORIA TECNICA E METODICA DEL TENNIS 1
Academic Year 2025/2026 - Teacher: FILIPPO BERTONEExpected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge: Understand biomechanics, methodological models, and epistemology applied to sports.
Applied skills: Execute and teach the full technical progression: groundstrokes, starting strokes, net play, and special shots, correctly managing angles and trajectories.
Judgement: Critically analyze stroke biomechanics and psychological dynamics in athletes.
Communication: Use coaching and the "agreement frame" for instructional management.
Learning: Design SMART goals integrating emotional and cognitive skills with tactical choices based on angles
Required Prerequisites
Detailed Course Content
Methodological and Psychological Module: Epistemology (Descartes/Popper), teaching methods, coaching, SMART goals, motivation, and coping strategies.
Biomechanical Module: Forces, mobility, and geometric study of angles in tennis.
Practical Module (Technique and Tactics):
Groundstrokes: Forehand and backhand.
Game start: Service and return.
Net play: Volley and overhead smash.
Special shots: Smash off the bounce, drop shot.
Advanced Tactics: Angle management (cross-court and down-the-line), rotations, spins, and professional game analysis.
Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
Oral Exam with multimedia support: The student must present and discuss a PowerPoint project exploring the methodological, psychological, and epistemological topics covered (SMART goals, teaching methods, defense mechanisms, etc.).
Technical Pair Test: Practical on-court verification of the instructional progression of fundamentals. The student must demonstrate correct execution and the ability to teach groundstrokes (forehand/backhand), starting strokes (service/return), net play (volley/smash), and special shots (drop shot), with specific focus on managing angles and trajectories.
