Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
access a plan for tennis activities and identify individual roles, responsibilities and activity objectives in consultation with program coordinator
interact effectively with beginner players and communicate information about safety aspects
set up court and conduct red stage tennis activities to maximise participation and monitor player performance
contribute to evaluation of tennis activities and reflect on own performance to identify areas that need improvement.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
the conduct of multiple red stage tennis activities for beginner players that are of sufficient duration and breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.
Assessment must also include access to:
groups of beginner players to participate in red stage tennis activities
a tennis venue with courts suitable for the conduct of red stage tennis activities (red court)
modified equipment for red stage tennis activities.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
observation of red stage activities and debriefing processes under the guidance of a program coordinator
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of the application of legislation and organisational policies and procedures required to maintain player safety
third-party reports from a supervisor or program coordinator detailing performance
review of portfolios of evidence and third-party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the individual.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
