I have a nine years old son.  He is under training for table tennis.  Whenever he is doing a practical drills, the footwork techniques and skills such as forehand loop, backhand counter, push etc is readily consistency but when come to rally, it's comes up to be in a mess.  The proper techniques and skills is not perfect anymore.  Please advice what to do.  Thanks

Hi Connie,

This is a part of natural development.

As he does more playing competitively he will start to be able to put together the training skills he is improving.  He will start to do more random drills where the ball is going anywhere.  This will train his anticipation and ability to follow the ball in the rally.

Don't need to rush the process.  It will all get better.  It is more a matter of making sure he is enjoying the learning.  The rest will come.

#17 - Generating Speed

Hit the ball faster and with more consistency. That is what we would all like to do. In this week's training plan we present several drills to help you work towards this goal. Each drill starts of consistently and then you are asked to increase the speed while still maintaining your technique.
