| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two different practices (Blocked & Random) on learning tennis basic skills (Forehand & Backhand) for Iraqi university students. A total of 90 students participated in this study. The study was conducted using quasi-experimental research design where tennis basic skills tests was administered to the students before and after the treatment process. The students were divided into three groups of 30 students each group. For the experimental groups, blocked practice was assigned to the first group while blocked practice was assigned to the second group. The controlled group followed traditional practice. The results after 12 weeks of treatment showed that the groups that followed (Blocked & Random practice) scored significantly higher than the group that followed traditional practice in learning tennis basic skills. In conclusion, the results of the current study showed that blocked and random practice are effective to a large extent in learning forehand and backhand in tennis. The study supports the effectiveness of blocked and random practice for Iraqi university students. Implications of this study, this study is very important as it presents a substantial evidence regarding the facts that practice scheduling can significantly and positively affect the educational level of the university level students.
