Abstract

This research provides coaches with a standardized, scientifically validated test to assess visual depth in youth tennis players under 19. The test aims to facilitate continuous evaluation of players’ performance during both training and official competitions. The research addresses the lack of standardized tests that accurately assess visual depth in youth tennis players under 19, particularly under conditions simulating actual competition. The absence of such essential assessment tools for this age group constitutes a significant research gap. Therefore, the researchers undertook the task of designing and standardizing the test. The objectives of the research included designing and standardizing a test to measure the level of visual depth in youth tennis players under 19 years old, in addition to developing standards and levels to evaluate and measure visual depth in this age category. The researchers used the descriptive method in the form of a survey, as it suits the nature of the problem. The research sample consisted of 67 youth tennis players under 19 years old from the central and southern provinces. Two players were excluded due to non-compliance, bringing the total research sample to 65 players. Five players were allocated for the pilot study, while the Development sample included 60 players. After designing the test and applying it to the Development sample, the researchers concluded that the test is capable of detecting the level of visual depth in youth tennis players under 19 years old. Standards and levels specific to this test were established with the goal of advancing the game of tennis among youth players under 19.
