Hi Alois and Jeff

You have not heard from me for a while. The fact is that I am getting seriously old (over 73) and am not playing as well as I used to. It is a natural process and I accept it. I come to my question. As a more rewarding part of my hobby I have started helping a coach with young children. I am enjoying it but I am running out of idea to keep the three boys (under my charge) interested and entertained. Do you have any suggestions on how to structure the sessions and some instructive games for them to do? My best regards and thank you for all that you have done for me during all these years. I am in great debt to you. Kind regards.

Filippo

Hi Filippo,

Great to hear that you are helping out with coaching the young players.

Could you follow the 52 Week Training Plan structure for them?  How old are they?

It is always a pleasure to be able to help you out if possible.  Our longest Premium member...

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
