This article presents a justification for the use of a constructivist model in tennis teaching, designing tasks and exercises that make up technical and tactical learning. The advantages and teaching principles of this model are presented below: (1) an organization in increasing order of difficulty, (2) basic and specific motor training, (3) significant teaching, (4) transference to real play and (5) an adaptation to the characteristics, motivation and interests of the pupil.
