Preparation for competition

hi alois.

Our school has organized a team table tennis competition. I have persuaded a few friends to join the competition so that I can participate. They do not know how to play table tennis. I doubt they have ever touched a racket before. And we would probably only have one or two days to train them. What should I teach them? I'm not trying to teach them to be very good but at least good enough to prevent humiliation.

P.s. Most of the participants also never touched a bat before except for some of the school representatives.

Hi Eugene,

Teach your team mates to serve well and also to get some simple consistency to keep a few balls on the table.
