Hi Pingskills,

Our country is one of the candidates to host the World Cadet Challenge 2014. Therefore we have started our national training,

However all we ever do at this training is play games.  How can i improve?

Hi Ramon,

If you have the opportunity, try to organise with a partner to train some skills.  Perhaps you can talk to the coach and ask if you can work on some drills.  Which country are you in?

If this is not possible, then while playing your games focus on one thing such as improving your forehand or backhand or your footwork.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
