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?

Initially when you are learning a new serve you can just get a bucket of balls and serve over and over again. But at some stage you need to practice your serve exactly as you would play in a match. In this session we focus on this. It's important that you try to make this practice as close to a real match as you can so that when you are in the real thing, you feel comfortable.

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.
