This study aimed to correlate tennis practitioners' age and time of practice in the memory and attention of a school in Anapolis. This was an observational study with a quantitative and descriptive nature. The population consisted of 60 individuals, from this population 100% of the sample was extracted, 38 males and 22 females aged between 4 and 15 years. To assess memory and attention, three instruments were used: the Memo, which assessed recent memory, attention and concentration; Veloteste, evaluated attention, agility and fine motor coordination; the electronic Stroop that evaluated selective attention. The results show that the older the age, the better the levels of Selective Attention (r0.609**), Attention and fine coordination (r 0.642**) and Memory (r 0.633**) and the longer the tennis practice time the best was Selective Attention (r0, 395**), Attention and Fine Coordination (r 0, 441**) and Memory (r 0, 505**). The study concludes as children and teenagers get older and those who have more time playing tennis better are the levels of selective attention, attention, fine coordination and memory.
