Modified tennis (using shorter courts and racquets, and low-compression balls) is the perfect sport for new players, former players, players with injuries and families. It’s accessible, affordable, fun, social, time-friendly, much more attractive to new players and allows former players to keep competing. It’s all about Red, Orange and Green balls—they’re the new “yellow” when it comes to getting people of all ages into this great sport! I can't wait to hear what some of my longtime colleagues have to say about this, especially those who are still questioning why we modified 10 and Under Tennis. On a separate point, I was surprised to see in recent TIA research (“2016 State of the Industry”) that African-American ten- nis players made up only 10 percent of all “core” players. We are making inroads in Hispanic participation, but given the many recent African-American tennis stars, I feel that percentage should be much higher.

With the improvement of tennis technology in China, it is necessary to study the composition of its technology philosophically. This article attempts to make a preliminary discussion on some aspects from the simplicity and complexity, accuracy and fuzziness of natural dialectics category of tennis technique, to improve the knowledge of the nature and law of tennis technology from the philosophical point of view ,and also provide the philosophical basis for the improve the level of tennis. 1、The acquaintance of these two categories The development of tennis is a process from simple to complex, continuous improvement and perfection. From the development of tennis technology, the process has been experienced from simple technology to complex technology, from single tactics to comprehensive and changeable tactics. From the theory of tennis movement, it not only has experienced from simple to complex, from fuzzy to precise, but also experienced the process of describing tennis movement from complexity to simplicity, from precision to vagueness. In order to understand complex things, phenomena and processes, it is essential to break them down into simple elements or parts before they can be recognized. This is the simplicity principle. Because the elements of a complex system are not simple combinations, there are complex networks of interconnections and constraints. Therefore, you must be studied the integrity and complexity of the system.

ISBN: 978-91-7264-979-8; ISSN: 0281-6768 Abstract This thesis is about selection processes and processes of measuring and judging athletes in compe- titions in top-level sport. The purpose was to increase the knowledge of these processes and to analyse them from a validity perspective in order to contribute to the discussion of whether the “right” athletes are selected to participate in teams, competitions and games and whether the “right” athletes win. The rule and judging systems were investigated in the judged sports acroski and rhythmic gymnastics. Information was gathered through individual interviews with two judges, two coaches, and four elite athletes from each of the sports, and in addition to this the respective sport’s rule systems, judging manuals, meeting protocols and historical documents were studied.

  • Leading Leaders Getting Their Heads Into the Game
    Leading Leaders BSU Alumnus Equips Executives in Esteemed Program Getting Their Heads into the Game Revolutionary Role-Play Games Come to Life at BSU Message from the President The brilliant reds, oranges, and golds of autumn accentuated the rhythm of campus this fall as we once again welcomed “home” new and returning students for the start of Bemidji State University’s 87th academic year. Also joining the BSU family were over 30 new members of the faculty and staff. A Community Appreciation Day and a BSU Service Week were just two of the many new activities added to such BSU traditions as freshman moving-in day, the all-campus picnic, the semester play, music concerts, Honors Lectures, and, of course, Homecoming. While the pace of fall’s rhythm seems to have quickened, there remains a familiar constancy to its beat: Bemidji State University is truly your university for all seasons. Jon E.
