Children were divided into two groups as experiment 30 control 30 . In addition to tennis trainings, an 8-week training program including drills was applied to the experimental group.Children's attention level was determined by Burdon's attention test.The Paired Samples t-test was used to determine the pre-test-post-test difference between the groups and the Independent t-test was used to determine the difference between the pre-test and post-test results of the groups. According to the findings, it was determined that the level of attention level of both experimental 17.34% and control 6.41% groups increased statistically in the post test, while the increase in the experimental group was found to be higher. As a result, it can be said that tennis sport is an important factor to improve the level of attention in children
