School Table Tennis Trials
Training
Gerard Tran Asked 6 years ago
Hello Alois,
Tomorrow, I am preparing for some table tennis trials to get into my school table tennis team.
I haven't ever participated in trials this big before and I don't know what I should do to prepare for it.
Could you please explain to me what to do on the day of the trials?

Hi Gerard,
The main thing is to focus on playing your best rather than the result of the matches.
In the lead up work on making sure you are serving your best and focusing on the ball during the rally.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

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!
