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.
