Hi Alois and Jeff,

Next Tuesday my school will hold a sport games competition as I told you before, and I participate in table tennis. What should I practice within 4 days from now? I couldn't practice because I was in my mid-test.

Thanks a lot!
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,

From now work mainly on your serves and return of serve and your 3rd ball.

These are the things that are really important in a match situation.

In our 52 week Training Plan we show you in the last 8 weeks how to prepare for a tournament.

In training you should also play a lot of matches.

Good luck with your tournament.  Let us all know how you go.

Switching Between Forehand and Backhand

Playing forehand and backhand strokes individually in practice is an important step in your development but to use them effectively in a game situation you must be able to switch between them. This sounds like a simple step but it's something you must practice. Lesson 10 focuses on ensuring you can quickly switch between your backhand and forehand table tennis strokes.

Well, I'm not a premium member, so I can't access the videos. Any other suggestions? Can I find it on youtube?

Unfortunately no.  Still work on the serve, return and 3rd ball.
