D K Asked 6 years ago

Greetings,

as I mentioned before,I am now a coach of newbies.
i wonder how should I exactly train them.
CUrrently we are struggling with holding the bat correctly.
They are not able to spar together efficiently.
I am trying to follow the Basic strokes video,but I do not want it to be boring,and they are not stable enough to fire at a target or something.
Please advise.

Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,

The main thing is to give them as many opportunities to hit the ball correctly. Try to use different types of feeding the ball. Use multi ball or utilise parents or any other players to help to control the ball for them.

Also you can get them to bounce the ball to each other. Take a look through the Beginner Training 101 series for ideas when you have the players starting out.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
