Table Top Tennis: A Vehicle for Teaching Sportspersonship and Responsibility
Schwager, Susan; Stylianou, Michalis
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v83 n7 p27-31 Sep 2012
Table top tennis is a game that can be played in the classroom or lunchroom when the gymnasium is unavailable. It is a good activity for developing sportspersonship and responsibility in students in grades four and up. This article provides a description of table top tennis, including basic rules and strategies; an explanation of how it can integrate features of the sport education curricular model (i.e., roles, responsibilities, etc.) to promote sportspersonship and responsibility; a sample round-robin schedule; an outline of a table top tennis season; and practical ways to assess students' sportspersonship and responsible behaviors through reflection. (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.)
