This study aimed to determine the effect of a game-based mini tennis training model on improving groundstroke forehand drive skills in court tennis, focusing on the ages of 6–8 years. The research conducted a quantitative method with a quasi-experiment with a pre-test and post-test non-equivalent to control the group design. The respondence of this study was 44 West Sumatra tennis athletes at 6–8 years old. They were divided into two groups, where 22 respondence were in the experimental group. Meanwhile, the 22 subjects were in the control group. The data and instruments for groundstroke forehand were driven to get children's tennis test score ratings. The data were analysed with SPSS 24 application. The results of this study showed that the and the significance (2 tailed) or . Besides, the hypothesis was tested to reject the driving force for the forehand drive field in the experimental group using the game-based mini tennis model, which was higher than in the control group. Thus, the results of the descriptive statistics with 22 experimental subjects showed a mean of 18.05, and after they were given the treatment, the post-test results showed a mean of 24.95. This shows that descriptively differences were obtained before and after treatment. Thus, the result of the descriptive statistics for the 22 control subjects was a mean of 18.09, and after treatment, the average post-test result was 22.95. This shows that descriptively differences were obtained before and after treatment. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the game-based mini tennis training model effectively improved forehand technique skills for West Sumatra tennis athletes at 6–8 years old. © 2021, Editura Universitatii din Pitesti.
