Hello! Two of my friends and I are planning on entering in a state table tennis tournament in a few weeks, and I was wondering if there was anything in particular we should know before we enter. Any exercises or practice routines you would recommend for the coming weeks to prepare? 

Thank you!

Hi Cain,

Firstly well done on taking the step to enter a tournament.

Take a look at the blog on What to Expect at a Tournament.  This will give you some ideas.

For training, think about practicing things that are practical to a match.  Work on your serve and receive and also your 3rd ball.

This is the training plan where we focus on match strategy. Most people want to rush into details on how to beat certain styles of player but before you can do that you need to work out a couple of things. Firstly what are your strengths? What are your opponents weaknesses? These are critical to formulating a plan. This week we are going to focus on your strengths and next week we'll tackle your opponents weaknesses.
