Questions
Who is Table Tennis for?
Children in partner-school programmes and academy groups. Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway. Table tennis needs no contact and little space, so it suits learners at many stages. Adult classes are arranged on request.
How is progress measured?
Coaches assess stroke technique, spin control, serve and return and footwork and match play against defined criteria. Progress is shared with families through coach feedback and term reports.
Where does it run?
At partner schools, academies and communities. Tell us where you are and we will confirm what runs near you.
What does multi-ball practice mean?
The coach feeds many balls in a row so a learner can repeat one stroke quickly and build a consistent technique.
