Hi Jenaro,

Shadow play can be useful especially if you don't have  a hitting partner and early on in your development to get the stroke correct.

What level are the players that you are training?

#33 - Defending with the Block

One thing you can be sure of is that every top player will be able to keep the ball on the table with a solid block when under pressure. It seems that this is a pre-requisite to becoming a good player. That's why in this training session we focus on improving your block. If you can absorb your opponent's attack you will be in a good position to win a match against them.

Thanks for answering coach. My high school players is from intermediate to advance level. I'm also handling elementary students with zero knowledge but willing to learn. Please coach I need a time table for elementary players and my high school players. Thanks coach! God bless!

Take a look at this program that I was involved in developing a while ago.  Tops Table Tennis : table tennis in schools program.  There are a lot of lesson plans within that for both Elementary level and HIgh school.

Take a look through it and let me know if you have any questions.
