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.

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!
