2 Existing Problems in the Teaching of College Tennis

Because tennis is not high popularity in china, many colleges have no tennis court, but the tennis racket and the hollow rubber ball are pitiful. Physical education teachers can impart knowledge to students in tennis teaching, it is difficult for students to have training opportunities.

2.2The lack of professional tennis teachers

Sports teachers are graduated from colleges of physical education, knowledge more complex, but in tennis teaching, the problem of students of professional tennis, PE teachers very difficult to answer, or the answer is not in place, enable the students to learn tennis knowledge is also ready to accept either course, there can be no more solid tennis technique.

2.3. Fewer Class Hours, Teaching Contents Limited

Usually the teacher is a theory course, then will practice course, between "theory" and "practice" in the span of time, sometimes for up to a week, so when the hours of practice, the theoretical knowledge of students almost have forgotten, it is difficult to achieve the effect of tennis teaching. In addition, the tennis teaching in the sports teaching in institutions of higher learning in the class is less, the teacher to teach students knowledge is very limited, it caused the students learn tennis knowledge is "a bottle of discontent, half a bottle of rock", not to meet the requirements of the national tennis teaching effect.

2.4The Tennis Teaching Did Not Take the Students as the Center

Tennis is a beautiful and fashionable sport. Because of higher college professional tennis teaching force is limited, and gradually formed a “student more, teacher and less, less equipment, less site” phenomenon. Many colleges and universities are still using the traditional “Teacher as the center, students passively accept” of teaching method, this greatly inhibited the contemporary college students’ learning interest in tennis, on the development of students’ personality plays a negative effect.

3. Methods Open Tennis Teaching at Colleges and Universities

At this stage, because of the teaching resources, teachers limited of colleges and universities in china, the tennis teaching is not smooth in some colleges and universities in china, a single method of teaching, learning content is less, resulting in poor effect of college students’ learning tennis, declining interest. The traditional teaching methods have been unable to meet the needs of today’s tennis teaching, this requires teachers to explore the tennis teaching, innovative teaching methods, improve the teaching effect of the course.

3.1We Should Take the Student as the Main Body

In daily physical education, we find that when the students interested in it that will be absorbed in watching the teacher demonstration every action, every detail, when the students lose interest in the course, students will be the teacher pay no heed to model the action, even look around, restless. Therefore, teachers in teaching to enrich teaching means, the teaching content can cause the attention of College students, let the students become the main body and the center of teaching, stimulate the students’ enthusiasm for learning tennis.

3.2Combined with the Practice and Teaching

In tennis teaching of colleges and universities, we should take “the theory of teaching” and “the extracurricular practice” organic series, the combination of the two, in order to enhance the students’ enthusiasm of learning tennis, improve the teaching effect. The teacher explained in tennis technology theory, should take action essentials in animation form, so that the students not only easy to understand, but also can deepen students’ understanding of stroking technique memory.

Tennis is a technology dominated sports, demanding on the action of technology, general beginners need to spend a lot of time and energy to good grasp the tennis technology action essentials. But in tennis teaching of colleges and universities, induction teaching for today’s college students grasp the tennis technology is very important.

4. Practice in Tennis Teaching In Colleges and Universities

4.1Introducing Competition Mechanism in the Process of Teaching, Promoting Student Learning Fun

Development of a sport, if not the introduction of competition mechanism, it is difficult to continue, and reasonably good sports competition mechanism is the non sports league. Such as football, not only because the football antagonism intense and attracts the attention of the public, it also because of the introduction of competition mechanism in the football league, to stimulate the students’ learning interest in football, so the football will become the focus of attention.

4.2Decomposition of Standard Tennis Courts, Reduce the Difficulty of Learning

Colleges and universities tennis teaching site is generally standard tennis courts, this tennis court area generally not less than 670 square meters, but in tennis teaching of colleges and universities, students to learn tennis interest is not short, but, for college students, standard tennis court is too big. In addition, dozens of students share a tennis court, because the class time is short, almost impossible to let every student has the opportunity to practice, it is difficult to improve the tennis teaching effect. Therefore, the standard tennis of great into several small of stadium, for example 10, one can simultaneously satisfy 20 students were practicing tennis.

4.3Teaching by Using Sponge Balls, Reduce Students’ Difficulty of Hitting

In tennis teaching in Colleges and universities, it usually used is the common practice for the special tennis training. This tennis elastic particularly large, flight speed is very quick hit, landing is very high, very fast, the general college student is difficult to control the ball, especially during the great practice, college students often cannot keep up with the ball. In addition to the ordinary training special tennis strength heavy, while the student is in the standard field decomposition into the small ground to practice, it is easy to occurrence risk of accident potential. However, because the power light sponge balls, small elastic, when the ball hit not particularly fast, the student is easy to control and grasp. Therefore, it is very suitable for the use of sponge tennis teaching and practice.

4.4Create the Excellent of Campus Tennis Culture, Enhance the Enthusiasm of the Students

Modern tennis originated in the end of the nineteenth Century British Bermingham, that was originally called “lawn tennis”, later, because the sport can be in a variety of venues (such as hard ground, red clay and grassland) was changed to “tennis”. China Tennis association in 1980 formally joined the international tennis federation, until today that only thirty years of history, it belongs to the tennis rise late country, in the ordinary institutions of higher learning is a new course. Understand and familiar with tennis teachers are very few, tennis sports entry also very difficult, many students have difficulty in learning tennis loses interest, it also lost the confidence of learning tennis.
