Hi,

They can start to play the game at any age from 5 onwards.  As far as training is concerned, first let them enjoy the game and develop a passion for it.  If they don't then no matter how much training is prescribed, they will not reach their potential.

Usually at 10 to 12 players can start thinking about more regular training.  By 14 to 15 if they are still enjoying the game then they will start to train more days per week.

The Crossover Point

Listen to Alois talk about his training focusing on the crossover point and the excellent results he achieved. As a student of the game it is important that you think about the crossover point and spend some time practicing hitting the ball there.
