The individuals who were in the nondominant hand forehand training program applied the training program of the dominant group in the same way 3 days a week. Anthropometric measurements were made to determine the physical characteristics of the participants. Hewitt Tennis Skill Test was used to evaluate tennis skills. IBM SPSS Statistics 24 was used to evaluate the data. According to the Hewitt test, no significant difference was found between the first and second measurements in the dominant and non-dominant groups (p <0.05). According to the number of balls scored in the Hewitt skill test of the players, a significant difference was found between the 1st and 2nd measurements in the nondominant group (p <0.005). No statistically significant difference was found between both genders in skill transfer. Keywords: Skill Transfer, Forehand, Backhand, Tennis, Dominant hand, Nondominant hand.
