Coaching Sessions
Sessions are organised on 6 tables. Each session is run by a Level 2 coach licensed by Table Tennis England. As such, we fully meet insurance, DBS and Safeguarding Children requirements.
For beginners and intermediate players, we focus more on technical improvements. This can be achieved through a combination of one-to-one multiball sessions and drills with other similar standard players. As players progress, coaching also includes improvements to matchplay to implement those new skills learnt during the coaching sessions. Players will drill with a variety of partners and the sessions normally end with 10-15 mins of competitive play although individuals can choose to continue to work on technique if they so wish. We also have a table tennis robot that is available for use at sessions.
Multiball sessions are as you would expect. A coach feeds multiple balls one after another to accurately provide the player with a consistent feed of balls. The coach can quickly identify opportunities and vary the type of feed to ensure continual improvement. As players improve the intensity of the ball feed increases and can provide a tough but rapid learning environment.
Drills are organised on the remaining tables and are tailored to the needs of the players. A coach is available to provide feedback and sets drills according to the standard of the players. Players move around different tables and there is always opportunity to play some of the session against better players.
