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.

#11 - Improve Your Pushing

The push is an important part of Table Tennis. It is a defensive stroke which you use to make it hard for your opponent to attack. This week we give you a number of pushing drills and even incorporate some pushing games into the session for a bit of fun. We continue to work on your serve and in this session we concentrate on your placement.
