This research aims to evaluate young tennis players’ agility and to analyze the differences depending on their playing level. 24 male tennis players, aged between 8 and 10 years old were involved in this research and completed three different agility tests (the 5x10m test, the spider test and the hexagon test). The findings revealed that more advanced players reached significantly higher scores in each agility test.
