First tournament
Training
Cain Luke Asked 8 years ago
Hello! Two of my friends and I are planning on entering in a state table tennis tournament in a few weeks, and I was wondering if there was anything in particular we should know before we enter. Any exercises or practice routines you would recommend for the coming weeks to prepare?
Thank you!

Hi Cain,
Firstly well done on taking the step to enter a tournament.
Take a look at the blog on What to Expect at a Tournament. This will give you some ideas.
For training, think about practicing things that are practical to a match. Work on your serve and receive and also your 3rd ball.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
