First tournament
Training
Cain Luke Asked 8 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.

#32 - Effective Returns
In this training plan we put together all of the different returns we've learnt and focus on producing an effective return. You should be aiming to topspin all long serves and then weighing up your options on the short serve. A good short push is a great option but you also need some variation with either a flick or a long fast push. Go out and put this training plan into action and work on improving your return.
