Introduction. The system-forming principle in the development of mass student sports is the creation of student sports clubs that organize sectional work, which is aimed at mastering a whole range of abilities and skills and developing physical qualities [1, p. 245].
The purpose of the study is to develop a fitness tennis program to improve the organization of the training process in the tennis section of the NWIU.
Methodology and organization of the study. The experiment was attended by students aged 17-20 years, organized into three mixed groups of 12 people (n = 36), classes were held twice a week for 1.5 hours on the basis of the SZIU during the academic year. A distinctive feature of sectional classes with the use of fitness tennis was the versatility of this form of organization, taking into account the level of physical development and motor capabilities of students.
The results of the study and their discussion. Fitness tennis is a symbiosis of learning tennis and improving physical conditions. The authors developed a structured fitness tennis program, which was implemented in three stages, each of which solved certain tasks:
1) the preparatory stage, the tasks of which were: teaching basic tennis skills according to a three-level system (red, orange and green ball); learning the rules of the game of tennis; familiarization with aerobic fitness programs.
To solve the tasks, appropriate tools and methodological techniques were selected: stuffing the ball on a racket with/without rebound; rolling the ball in pairs with a hand, a racket for stability, for winning a point; stuffing the ball through the net with a coach, with a partner for stability; moving on the coordination ladder with ball juggling; classical aerobics, fitball, step aerobics;
2) the main stage, during which the tasks of teaching various rotations, serving and playing on the fly were solved; studying tactical techniques of the game on the score; improving balance and coordination of the body in a non-supporting position.
The second stage is characterized by synchronization of tennis movements with balance on an unstable platform: playing "sausage"; stuffing on the fly through the net with a partner standing on a barefoot platform; serving/mixing from a step platform with access to the net; moving on a coordination ladder along the back line with a right/left kick in an open rack with access to the bosu platform;
3) the final stage involved the achievement of maximum motor activity and the use of acquired tennis skills in playing on the court.
The solution of the tasks at this stage were exercises of a game nature: a game for the "king"; a pair game for the score (female, male, mixed); a team game for the score.
Conclusion. The analysis of the functioning of the tennis section with the use of fitness tennis confirmed the effectiveness of this form of organization of sectional classes. At the end of the experiment and the survey of students, it was found that the attendance of classes in the spring semester increased by 18.9% compared to the beginning of classes in the fall, involvement in the learning process increased by 25.3%, and more than 50% of the students surveyed believe that classes in the section have become more diverse and less monotonous due to various running and coordination exercises with using fitness equipment in conjunction with tennis practice.
