Hi Mat,

The most important thing is to get a lot of good quality hours on the table.

You should structure your session well.  Start with a warm up then an on table warm up of about 5 minutes on each side.

Then some footwork drills each lasting 7 to 10 minutes.  You can do 2 to 3 of these.

Then some match drills.  So some drills starting with a serve.

Then finish with some matches.  A session should last between 90 and 120 minutes.

If you want a template go to the free Training Plan (Word) and you can enter in your session.  If you want more help take a look through what we have to offer in our Training Secrets course in our Lessons.  This will also explain the drills that you can use and what the purpose of each of the drills is to help you to improve different aspects of your game.
