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.

#35 - Lobbing Skills
Do you enjoy watching great Table Tennis rallies where one player is smashing and the other is lobbing? Of course you do, everyone loves that. In Table Tennis if you can win a point when lobbing then it will really play with your opponents mind. It's really a 2 point turnaround from 1 they should have won to 1 you actually won. In this session we give you plenty of practice to improve your lobbing skills.
