Hi Coach,

I am teaching my kid table tennis. Thanks to you for the PDF that you sent to me which helped me a lot. Here is my problem coach. My son is 4 years old and for his height he is not able to play from the ground. I have made a little elevation using a wood and made him play standing on it. He has started returning forehand rallies.

Now the problem is his movement. When the ball is away from his reach, he tends to leave it as he is standing on the piece of wood. What should I do? Is the way that I teach him is correct or should I make him play from the ground. Please advice.

Thanks

Shiva

Hi Shiva,

I would go the other way and just make a shorter table for him.  It doesn't have to be a proper Table Tennis table just any table that is down at his height would do.

actually, i think you can try making a bigger piece of wood, so your kid is going to have more space to move.

Haha I love it how he is pretty good at the beginning, and then after he just starts whacking the ball behind him, at his dad, way off the table and stuff like that. Hes got good hand-eye coordination for a baby though
