Height of Table for children
Equipment
Paul Senior Asked 13 years ago
Hello Coach
I am able to vary the height of my table tennis table. I know the standard height is 76 cm, but is it a good idea to lower the table for my 8 year old so that it's at the same relative height an adult would be playing?
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
That is a great idea. It will help him to develop his strokes properly rather than having his elbow up above his head to play his shots.
It is a concept we try with younger students by using their classroom desks to play rather than a Table Tennis table.
Let me know how it goes for him.

Choosing a Table Tennis Table
The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.
