my son is 12 and just started table tennis 2 months ago loves it how long b4 he gets up 2 a good level he plays 4 times a week
Hi Jason,
It will take a year or two to get the basics right. Depending on how well he is practicing and what he is doing this can be a lot shorter of course or a lot longer.
Table Tennis is a game that is one of the easiest games to learn but one of the most difficult to master. That is what makes it so special.
Is he playing in a club and is he receiving coaching or playing competition or both?
Keep us up to date on his progress.
By throwing in some unexpected long returns you will keep your opponent off balance and this will make each short push you do so much more effective. That's why it's important to be able to return long. You've got 2 options. You can flick the ball or push it long and fast. This week our focus is on these types of returns.
