| Opis: | The objective of this paper was to obtain accurate information about the Brazil field tennis landscape. The investigation was characterized as descriptive using the data from the Brazil’s tennis Confederation website (CBT) in the year of 2013; it was cross-examined among the ages of 12 and 18 years for both sexes. The top 200 players of the male category were selected, together with all the female athletes of each age group. The latter ranged between 111 and 162 athletes, totaling 1,341 catalogued athletes. It was noticed that the Brazilian field tennis is basically found in institutionalized sports environments, particularly in private clubs. In conclusion, the study points out that the tennis field in Brazil eventually reproduces the logic of the sports fields regarding distribution by sex. There is also a close connection between the economical and sports spheres, since athletes who come from the South and Southeast regions have a higher probability of development in the sport. |
