The integration of sports and education is the philosophy that encourages sport to return to the foundation of education. It advocates for a university to evolve past the confines of limited sport skill focused teaching in tennis. The current method of tennis instruction has areas that can be improved upon, the integration of competitive experiences while also integrating instructional objectives, is limiting and limits the educational potential of the curriculum. This research is designed to provide alternatives for systematic innovation in tennis instructional models. In doing so, the study seeks to develop a new instructional paradigm focusing on the comprehensive development of the student, an organically integrated acquisition of skills, competition experience, and character formation at the collegiate level. The integration of this study into the tennis instructional process will assist in providing practical avenues for reforming the current physical education courses in college.
