This study aims at knowing the effect of the successive manner in learning the skills of ground forehand and backhand strokes in tennis. Also it aims to know the preferably of the control and experimental groups in learning the skills of the ground forehand and backhand strokes in tennis. The researchers used the experimental approach of the control and experimental groups which are equivalent to be proper to the nature of the problem of the research. The population of the research included the second year students in the college of Basic Education- Department of Physical Education and Sport Science. The test which was used to measure the level of learning the ground forehand and backhand strokes was Hewitt Average (Jack E Hewitt). The researchers carried out (12) teaching units over (12) weeks – one teaching unit per a week- and the time was (90) minutes per a unit for the two control and experimental groups. The successive teaching manner for teaching students the basic skills was used for the experimental group, while the traditional manner which is followed in the college was adopted for the control group and with the same syllabus of the experimental group. At the beginning of carrying out the teaching units, the individuals of samples were divided into small teaching. The time of each teaching unit was (90) minutes distributed into three parts (the preparation part was 20 minutes), (the main parts was 65 minutes) and the final part was 5 minutes). The researchers were able to arrive at the use of the successive manner has a positive effect on teaching the skills studied in this research which was very suitable for the experimental group. The use of the successive manner helps in exceeding the learning process and develops the independency and achieving the goals by investing time and effort. (Published Abstract)
