In table tennis training, there are times when multiball training is absolutely necessary and there are times when it is over-used. In this short article, I’m going to give you some advice on when to use it or when not use it.
Simplifying for Beginners
For complete beginners who have never played before, sometimes using a robot or multiball is easier because it allows more time between balls. As soon as the beginner is able to make contact with the ball, I highly recommending transitioning to single ball instead of multi-ball.
Typically, playing about 60-65% forehand and about 35-40% backhand will allow you to cover the table best. However, for some of my students, I give some flexibility as each player/style/age/conditioning/body type is unique. Because the forehand zone is larger, most players practice forehand footwork or full-table footwork. I have rarely seen players practicing backhand footwork.
Today, USATT gave me my certification as a National Coach.
Moving forward, what are my goals?
1. Perspective
Keep everything in perspective, giving God the glory for it all in word and deed. Colossians 3:17 says… And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
You!
You as the athlete, YOU must be the expert!
But, but, but.. I thought the coach was supposed to be the expert?
No, the coach WILL BECOME the expert, but you must first be the expert!
Let me explain…
Dear Parents,

If you haven't jumped aboard and put your kids into a local table tennis program, I would encourage you to do it! Why? There are litterally hundreds of good reasons; but for starters, check out a short list from one of my student's parents...
