Abstract

The research aims to identify the level of perception and accuracy of serving skill performance variables for third-year tennis students, and to quantitatively estimate the contribution of perspectives to the accuracy of serving skill performance for third-year tennis students. The researcher used a descriptive approach using a survey method and correlational relationships to suit the research. It is represented by the third-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences / University of Diyala for the academic year 2023-2024 of (184) students whose names are included in the official lists of the registration department and distributed to the sections (A, B, C, D, E). The research sample was selected randomly. The sections (B, E) were selected as the number was (64) students, at a rate of (34.78%). Ten students have been excluded from them due to non-compliance with attendance. Thus, the research sample was divided into a survey sample, whose number was (14) students, at a percentage of (7.6%), while the main experimental sample was (50) students, at a percentage of (27.17%). The researcher then conducted a skill test on the tennis courts at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Diyala. A perception test on the FINA system at the Center for Educational and Psychological Research at the University of Baghdad is applied.


         The researcher reached several conclusions, including that there is a positive correlation between students' ability to perceive their surroundings and their accuracy in performing the serve skill. Students with a higher level of perception demonstrated greater accuracy in performing the serve skill. The researcher recommends the necessity of conducting periodic assessments of students' perception of their surroundings and its impact on their performance, to determine the effectiveness of training programs and modify them as needed.
