Indonesian people's interest in sports, especially tennis, is currently experiencing a significant increase. Especially at the city and district level in West Java, the researcher, in the context of a working visit as the West Java Pelti Provincial Administrator who toured all District/City Pelti Pengcab saw firsthand how enthusiastic people were at playing tennis at various age levels, starting from children, teenagers and parents. The tennis courts are filled with people playing tennis, from those who are just learning to those who are already advanced. Almost every weekend, researchers receive information about national championships - TDP (Tournamen Dfiakui Pelti) and regional championships. This shows that tennis is no longer an expensive sport and can be enjoyed by all levels of society, especially in big cities. Meanwhile, in terms of achievements, the Indonesian national tennis team succeeded in becoming the overall champion at the 2023 Cambodia SEA Games after winning four gold, two silver and three bronze medals at the Southeast Asian international sporting event. That in order to maintain sports achievements, especially tennis, it requires gradual and continuous development by carrying out development, nurturing and monitoring programs for children's talents so that athlete regeneration will occur. As age increases and performance decreases, these athletes will naturally be replaced by new generation athletes who have been coached. Regarding the development, nurturing and monitoring of children's talent in tennis, researchers are called upon to continue the community service program which was carried out in 2023 in Kab. Pangandaran. In P2MI for the 2024 fiscal year, researchers will carry out another community service program with the title "Socialization of Mini Tennis for Elementary School Students in Tanjungsari Village, District. Gunungtanjung, Kab. Tasikmalaya (P2MI Advanced Program 2023)”. This activity was carried out using a full day training method which took place at the GOR in Tanjungsari village.
