From YouTube: Monday 6th July Skills

Description

A short video to recap the skills and drills covered in Session #2 of our Virtual Table Tennis Club for teenagers, made possible with Satellite club funding from Living Sport.

Make sure you have a practice before next week's session, we can't wait to see your skills!

A

Warm-Up sidesteps going without three meters side side and just gently small footsteps in between hand.

A

Skills we start with that. We have our legs slightly spaced two parts of knees in line with shoulders, so we've got quite a good base.

A

The balance that the target is, can we get from a standing position down to a kneeling position and if we can do that even to a seated position so all times, I have my eye on the ball down to my knees and I'm, going to try and sit down as well without dropping the ball, and if I can do that, I think the reverse all the time I'm watching the ball beautiful ball up into the air clashing with both hands.

A

We throw the ball in the air and turn catch. It.

A

Now I call these dish targets because the target is to get the ball into a dish just help slightly I do use a wall if that's possible and for tins so I put two tins against the wall and a dish in front of them and then I put two tins: either sides the slightly curved around just bring the camera in briefly to get a close-up of the setup and back we come again and I'm gonna have a couple of practice, shots and see. If I can get the ball stay in the dish.

A

That's the target I'm now gonna practice playing some backhand shot again to the wall. To start with, I'm gonna drop. The ball then hit it then catch it. So if I'm playing right-handed I drop the ball with my left, is it against the wall cat with my left? And let me do ten of those I'm keeping my knees slightly bent all times ready to play the shot.

A

Also going to play forehand shots against the wall again, I'm gonna drop it with my left hand and I'm gonna hit with my right hand, so drop.

A

Notice, I'm more sideways onto the table this time, rather than facing the table, something that can help when you're playing a forehand. It's actually illegal, to keep your hand on the table in a normal game of table tennis, but in practice it's quite handy, keep your hand on the table because it helps you to get more return.
