First tournament
Training
Cain Luke Asked 9 years ago
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.

#33 - Defending with the Block
One thing you can be sure of is that every top player will be able to keep the ball on the table with a solid block when under pressure. It seems that this is a pre-requisite to becoming a good player. That's why in this training session we focus on improving your block. If you can absorb your opponent's attack you will be in a good position to win a match against them.
