The aim of this study is to examine the imagination levels of 8 to 16-year-old students who are engaged in tennis. The sample group of the study consisted of 151 primary school students between the ages of 8-16, who are enrolled in primary and secondary education institutions and are engaged in tennis sports in the province of Aydın in the 2016-2017 academic year. In order to determine the imagination level of the students, Sports Imagery Questionnaire for Children developed Hall et al. (1999) and adapted to the Turkish by Kafkas (2011) was administered. In the evaluation of the data, the normality test Kolmogorov Smirnov, Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney-U, and Chi-Square tests were applied to determine the differences of imagination levels based on various demographic parameters. The results revealed that the level of imagination did not differ significantly based on age or gender. However, mean value of the imagination scores for female students was higher than that for male students. There was a significant difference between the persistence of doing the sport and the level of imagination. Significant differences were detected in the imagery aspect, general cognitive dimension and the persistence of the sports. Similarly, significant differences were observed in the imagery aspect, specific cognitive dimension and the longevity of sporting. There were no significant differences between imagery aspect, special motivation, general motivation stimulation, general motivational superiority dimensions and sporting longevity.
