Planning training sessions

Hi Behailu,

It sounds like you're looking for a structured annual plan for coaching table tennis to kids — that's a great initiative! While I don’t have a specific form to send you, I can certainly help guide you on how to set up an annual coaching plan.

Start by assessing the skill levels of the kids. This can include basic techniques like grip, stance, and basic strokes.

Set realistic and achievable goals for the year, tailored to the skill levels of the kids. These could range from mastering basic strokes to participating in local competitions.

We have the 52 Week Training Plan as part of our Premium Membership which will give you good guidance on how to progress a player from basics to Tournament play.

Plan weekly sessions that progressively build skills. Include varied drill sessions, practice matches, and technique workshops.  Regularly monitor progress and provide feedback. Be prepared to revise your plan based on the kids' development and interest levels.

Keep the training enjoyable with games and team activities to enhance camaraderie and keep the kids motivated and engaged.

Organize periodic meetings with parents to keep them informed about their children’s progress and how they can help at home.

Conclude with an assessment to see how far each child has progressed towards the goals. Celebrate their achievements, no matter how small.

This structure should give you a good foundation to customize your own detailed annual plan. Remember, consistency and patience are key when coaching young learners. Best of luck, Behailu!
