Firstly thank you for bringing an excellent training portal for table tennis. It is useful to train my 9 year old daughter and for myself to enhance my skills. Can I request you to provide few basic videos how to start training my 4 year old son. Just to get feeling of ball.

Hi Vinod,
I am glad that the site has been useful.
We have a series in the Training section titled Beginner Training 101 which I think will be ideal. The basic skills we go through there are suitable for all ages.
The main thing is to develop control and feel of the bat on the ball. We show you some simple ideas that I use in schools with young players.
Let me know if these help you and your son.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
