Finding players at my level

Discussion

I am thirteen years old and I've been playing table tennis ever since I first started school. Recently I've been looking up different strokes and serves and I've been practicing them with my grandpa and cousin. I win every game. My progess is going to slow down tremendously unless I found more experienced players. I called a Recreation center where I live and they said their group was only for seniors. Do I just quit? I'm not going to be able to bring my game to the next level. Please give me advice. Thank you!

Hi Jesse,

The key is to find a club. Depending on which country you are in this could be easy or difficult.

Take a look at our last Ask the Coach Show where we talk about finding a club. From Garage To Club #270.

Quitting isn't the best option but following our direction with the lessons and then also finding a club will keep you improving.

Also consider teaching one of your family how to feed multi ball.  Take a look at our section on Multiball.  These will also help with your training.

Keep working hard on improving.
