PURPOSE: The main purpose of this study is the optimization of the control over performing the forehand technique by 12-year old players using Martin's sigma method. MATERIAL AND METHODS: To achieve the goals of the study, we used video recording and analysis of the results of three tests applied in order to obtain information regarding the level of mastering the technique and the efficiency of the training process with 12-year old tennis players. The descriptive statistics and Martin's sigma method were used for data analysis. RESULTS: The obtained quantitative assessments allow comparing the achievements of players in each of the performed tests. CONCLUSIONS: This assessment model for forehand performance provides reliable quantitative feedback for managing and optimizing the training process in tennis with young players.
