At the beginning of your lessons, even before moving on to playing on the table, get acquainted with how the racket interacts with the ball, “feel” the racket and the ball, learn to control its flight in various ways, master the basic striking movements, the orientation of the torso, arms, legs and racket in space, etc. It is important to learn how to hold the racket correctly and perform various exercises with the racket and ball off the table, as this will help you quickly master the playing technique. We recommend using the following exercises.
1. Move around the court, keeping the ball on the racket and watching the grip.
2. Rolling the ball on the racket from one edge to the other or in a circle.
3. By repeatedly hitting the ball with the palm or back of the racket from bottom to top or alternately with one or the other side, try to keep the ball from falling to the ground for as long as possible. Perform this exercise both in place and in motion.
4. Dribbling the ball with a racket, hitting the floor (dribbling), in a player's stance in place or in motion.
5. Give the ball rotation with the palm or back of the racket in different directions: from the body to the right or left side.
6. Hit the ball with the racket to different heights alternately - high bounce, low bounce.
7. Crouching and standing up, hit the ball: hit it - sit down, hit it again - stand up.
Keep the following in mind when performing these exercises:
Hold the racket so that the ball hits perpendicular to its surface;
Try to hold the racket at waist level and hit the ball no higher than eye level, while carefully watching the flight of the ball (with your eyes only);
When hitting the ball, do not reach for it with your hand, move all the time, approach it.
If you have mastered these exercises and can perform 100 strikes without error, then you can arrange a competition to see who can hit the most, who can carry the ball faster on the racket, etc.
Then you can use such exercises.
1. Hit the ball against the wall with the palm or back of the racket, and then, alternatively, after bouncing off the floor.
2. Hitting the ball against the wall with the palm or back of the racket from the air, preventing it from falling to the floor.
3. Play in pairs - the ball must bounce off the floor through a line or corridor drawn on it, over a side or a gymnastic bench.
After practicing simple shots without giving the ball rotation, you can try to perform the same exercises at the wall and in pairs, giving it top and bottom rotation, respectively, with a rolling or trimming movement. If the previous exercises have already been mastered and you can hit the ball against the wall at least 50 times in a row, we advise you to move on to training your motor response, the ability to control the flight of the ball and racket in space, as well as mastering the technique of movement. To do this, we recommend using the following exercises.
1. Alternately hitting the ball with the playing surface and the edge of the racket. 10-15 times in one series (Fig. 43, 1).
2. Throw the ball high up with the racket (above the head), and then gently take it onto the racket without rebounding, absorbing the kinetic energy of the falling ball by moving the racket behind the ball. The exercise can be performed with the palm and back of the racket in place and in motion. 10-15 times in one episode.
3. Playing in pairs on the floor: partners, standing at a distance of 3-4 meters from each other, kick the ball at shoulder height in different directions. If you don’t have time to reach the balls, then increase the distance; if you want to complicate the task, then come closer (Fig. 43, 2).
4. Exercises at the training wall. They can be performed by moving along the wall, with one blow to the right, to the left, or by hitting the ball alternately: once on the right, the other on the left (Fig. 43, 3, 4). For example, cutting from the left alternately into two or three squares, drawn on the wall with chalk at the level of the player’s shoulders, or alternately rolling to the right and left of the target on the table. Much more difficult are the exercises for combining rolling and trimming: roll on the right once, trim again, or roll on the right, trim on the left, and vice versa.
The listed exercises can be performed either independently or by two or four people. If there are more participants, then you can organize a competition or relay race.
What would you like to advise? Carefully monitor the correct stance, movements, hits with the racket on the ball, the height, speed and direction of the ball, and the correct movements towards the ball.
Once you've mastered the basics, you can use the exercises to improve your techniques on the table, and if you're good at it, in counting games.
When playing on the table, pay attention to the correct movements. You can correctly master and consolidate the basics of the technique only by repeating technical elements multiple times in game conditions on the table, and this should be preceded by practicing the technique with the help of simulation exercises. In the future, much depends on the coordination of movements, muscle-motor sensitivity, on your attentiveness, reaction speed, as well as on the level of development of such qualities as endurance, perseverance, focus and efficiency. When you start training on the table, your main task is to improve the “feeling” of the ball, racket and table, orientation in space, taking into account the direction of the ball’s flight.
When practicing the technique, perform the first strikes without giving the ball rotation. Your task is to keep the ball on the table as long as possible. And only when you have achieved this, you can move on to practicing the main types of serves, rolls, and cuts. Strive for your movements to be fast and precise, so that you move correctly around the table.
Carefully monitor whether you are performing the strikes correctly, since an incorrectly mastered technique is a brake on the further growth of your success.
In order to master the basic game actions and consistently master shots on the table, we recommend training with a partner or against a wall. A partner, throwing balls, can regulate the speed, length and direction of their flight.
Playing on a table with an inclined backboard allows you to train all kinds of shots and significantly increases the effectiveness of the lesson.
To improve your strikes and movements, set yourself tasks that you want to solve in each specific lesson. This will help you more accurately select the means to solve problems and organize your actions and the actions of your partners more efficiently and purposefully. To master and improve the technique of playing on the table, we recommend the following exercises (Fig. 44): playing along straight lines (Fig. 44, 1, 14), along diagonals (right, left) (Fig. 44,2), “triangle” (right , left) (Fig. 44, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13), “figure eight” (in straight lines, diagonally) (Fig. 44, 5, 6), “fan” (Fig. 44, 7 , 8, 9, 15, 16). These exercises, “triangle” and “figure eight,” got their names from the pattern the ball performs while flying, when viewed from above the table.
When mastering the technique of playing table tennis, try to adhere to the following sequence:
Istage- learning the grip, juggling the ball, simulating cuts to the left and right, rolls to the right and left, practicing these elements at the training wall;
IIstage- improving cuts and rolls on the table in various directions and combinations, mastering serves from the right and left without rotation;
IIIstage- mastering left and right cuts, serves with complex rotation, learning technical and tactical combinations, improving right and left cuts;
IVstage- mastering top spin on the right and left, “candles”, further improving previously mastered technical techniques and technical-tactical combinations;
Vstage- consolidation and further improvement of playing techniques and tactics in game exercises, counting games, and competitions. We recommend studying each technique in the following order:
Familiarization with movement without a ball (in general terms without details);
Studying the movement of the hand with the racket on the “Wheel” or “Ball on the Spoke” simulators, where you get an idea of the interaction of the racket with the ball, the work of the legs and torso during the strike; - study of movement in a game environment on a moving ball. These are various exercises with a ball against a training wall, on a table with a reflective shield, with a partner throwing balls under attack, etc. It is imperative to include elements of movement here. In these exercises, strive to combine the execution of a technique with simultaneous work of the legs, torso and arm with the racket.
While consolidating what you have mastered and improving the basic technical techniques, constantly monitor your basic position, the work of the torso, the transfer of the center of gravity of the body in the direction of the impact, the work of the arms, legs, etc. Mastering technical elements will require you to repeat them many times. And don’t forget to monitor the correct execution, mark successful strikes, analyze your actions and immediately correct mistakes.
The most important and difficult thing in learning table tennis is training. In order to quickly move from a beginner to a pro, you must measure your training, not get too tired and divide the process of mastering the technique into three stages. The first is initial, when you are just mastering the techniques, you need to form motor reflexes and a visual image on it, the second is the process of consolidating the technique has begun, you are improving your movements, eliminating inaccuracies in technique and skills. And the third stage is improving technology. Your task at this stage is not only to perfect your skills, but to develop your own playing style.
Practice your signature moves, analyze your opponents' playing style, develop different tactics and gain experience.
Never stop training, because without it you will never succeed. Let's consider each stage of training separately.
First, before you start playing on the table, get a feel for the racket and ball, learn to direct its flight, and master the initial movements. The more time you spend on initial training, the easier it will be in the future. Below is a list of recommended exercises
- Move around the court while holding the ball with your racket.
- Roll the ball over the racket.
- Throw the ball up with your racket and make sure it doesn't fall down for as long as possible. The exercise is done both while standing still and in motion.
- Dribbling (driving the ball, hitting it on the floor).
- Give the ball spin with your racket.
- Practice high and low bounce of the ball.
- Squat and hit balls between squats.
The most important thing is to keep the racket perpendicular to the flight of the ball, do not hit the ball above your eyes, and keep the racket near your waist. Do not reach your hand towards the ball, move your whole body.
When the first stage of training is over, you can begin the following exercises:
- Change sides of the racket while hitting the ball.
- Don't let the ball hit the floor by changing the palm or back of the racket.
- Play in pairs, not letting the ball hit the line drawn on the ground.
If these exercises are already easy for you, then train your motor response, movement technique and the ability to control the flight of the ball. The following set of exercises will help you:
- Hit the ball ten or fifteen times with the surface and edge of the racket.
- Throw the ball high, and then receive it with your racket without rebounding, absorbing the kinetic energy of the fall by moving the racket behind the ball.
- Pair exercise. From three or four meters, hit the ball at a height no lower than your shoulders. If you can't keep up with the ball, you can increase the distance.
- Exercise with a training wall. Move along it, sending one blow to the right, the other to the left. For example, cutting from the left one by one into 2-3 squares, drawn with chalk on the wall at shoulder level, or rolling from both sides into a target on the table.
Having mastered the strikes and stances, move on to practicing individual tactics. Carefully monitor the clarity of the stances and the direction of the blows and everything will certainly work out for you.
When playing on the table, pay attention to the correct movements. Only thanks to them and practicing the elements of the game, your muscle sensitivity, perseverance, focus and hard work, you will be able to improve your skills.
There is no need to give the ball spin, your goal is to keep the ball within the table as long as possible. And only then can you move on to the main types of feeds, rolls and cuts. Remember that an incorrectly learned technique will hinder your progress in mastering the game.
To improve your practice, set goals that you can actually achieve, just don’t strain yourself too much; overwork is a bad help in practice. But all this will help you organize your actions and the actions of your partners.
During training, try to adhere to the following sequence:
Stage 1 - Training at the wall, practicing roll-ups on the right and left, cuts, their imitation, grip training.
Stage 2 – improvement of cuts with rolls, learning serves from both hands, their improvement without rotation, rolls from both sides.
Stage 3 – cutting on both sides, improving serves with complex rotation, tactical combinations and their improvement, cutting rolls and their improvement
Stage 4 – study of top spin on the left and right, “candle” and improvement of previously mastered techniques and techniques
Stage 5 – consolidation of techniques, tactics and their improvement in games and training. Learn each tactic in this order:
- become familiar with the trajectory of the ball.
- mastering and practicing the “Wheel” and “Ball on a Spoke” movements, which give a complete understanding of the interaction of the racket with the ball, the dependence of the further trajectory of the ball on this, and the work of the whole body during a strike. In general, this is a whole set of exercises that will have to be practiced either alone, sometimes with a partner, sometimes against the wall, and so on.
Remember, don't stand still, always move while training. Mastering new tactics always requires repetition, so don't give up. And you will succeed. Good game!

What does it take to learn to play table tennis well? First of all, train. And in order to quickly learn how to play beautifully, and even win, you must learn to correctly dose the load of your classes and select the necessary exercises.
In mastering the technique of playing, one can distinguish three stages. First- mastering technology. At this stage, you should develop a visual and motor image, motor skill. While you are mastering the technique, your movements are still tense and constrained, and not always smooth and precise. At the second stage- the stage of consolidation of the technique - the motor skill is brought to automatism, or, as experts say, it is practiced until it becomes a skill. Errors in technique and unnecessary movements are eliminated, coordination of movements is improved. Now you can practice combinations of individual techniques. At this stage, try to play counting games with your partners and organize competitions. This will allow you to consolidate your playing technique in a competitive environment and train its resistance to disruptive factors. At the third stage- the stage of improving technique - your task is to individualize the technique and tactics of the game. Practice your signature technical elements by analyzing your game. Work on technical and tactical combinations and tactical variations of the game, improve those techniques that you are most successful with. Gain gaming experience. Practice, because there is no limit to perfection. Remember, success will follow you if you train hard and systematically, improving your physical and volitional qualities.

Based on an article by Galina Barchukova
When you are alone. If it suddenly happens that there is no partner to play with, then you can train alone.
To be able to hold the racket correctly and perform various movements with the racket and ball, use the following exercises.
1. Place the ball on the racket and, standing or sitting, roll the ball on the racket from one end to the other or in a circle. You can make it more difficult by trying to write your name on the racket with a ball.
2. The same exercise can be used in walking in a straight line or running around racks and various running, the main task is to hold the racket correctly and not drop the ball from it.
3. Balancing with the ball. This exercise develops the skill of balance when changing the position of the racket with the ball. Place the ball on the racket and sharply turn it to the left, to the right, away from you, towards you, trying to keep the ball on the racket. At first, you can hold the ball with your free hand. This exercise can be used as a competitive exercise. The winner is the one who keeps the ball on the racket in the most movements.
4. Throw the ball onto the floor with your free hand, catch it on the racket after the first bounce and do not let it roll. You can complicate this exercise: catch the ball after two or more bounces from the floor, or catch it first on one side of the racket, then on the other; take the ball onto the racket as low as possible from the floor, etc.
5. Throw the ball on the floor and do not catch it, but hit it down with the racket several times so that the ball bounces off the floor again. Options: perform the exercise and hit the ball twice (or several times) with a racket, the same, but moving forward.
6. Repeatedly hitting the ball with the palm or back of the racket from bottom to top or alternately with one or the other side of the racket. Try to keep the ball from falling to the ground for as long as possible. Exercises can be performed in place or on the move. You can arrange a competition to see who can hit the ball with the racket the most times.
7. The same, but hit the ball with the racket at different heights: with a high rebound, with a low rebound.
8. In the same way, while hitting the ball, crouch and stand up, or hit the ball, crouch down, hit the ball again, stand up.
9. Dribbling the ball with a racket on the floor (dribbling) in a tennis player’s stance, standing still or in motion.
10. Throw the ball high up with the racket (above the head), and then gently take it onto the racket without rebounding, absorbing the energy of the falling ball by moving the racket behind the ball. The exercise can be performed with the palm and back of the racket in place and in motion.
11. Hitting the ball with the palm or back of the racket, give it right or left lateral rotation by moving the racket to the left or right side of the body.
If you have already mastered the grip and confidently handle the ball and racket, you can accurately dribble the ball (10-15 m on the floor), hit the ball with the racket 50 times, then move on to learning the hitting technique. It is also better to master the striking technique not in pairs, but alone. After the simulation exercises, the main strikes can be trained against a wall, which should be level. To improve the accuracy of ball flight control, two or three targets can be drawn on the wall at chest level.
1. Throw the ball into the wall with your hand, hit the ball that bounces off the wall with the racket into the wall, and then catch it with your free hand.
2. Perform strikes with the palm or back of the racket, without allowing the ball to fall to the floor.
3. Throw the ball on the floor so that it hits the wall, then use the racket to send it to the floor so that it also hits the wall.
4. You can then use the ball against the wall with the palm or back of the racket using cutting or rolling movements. Try to direct the ball that bounces off the floor to the targets drawn on the wall, moving both along the wall to the right and left, and back and forth.
5. The previous exercise can be modified by performing slice or roll strokes alternately with the back and palm of the racket or with one side of the racket, but roll once, cut once.
After simple hits without giving the ball rotation, you can try the same exercises at the wall, giving the ball top and bottom rotation, respectively, with a rolling or cutting movement.
Alone, you can improve your playing technique on the table. To do this, you need to move the table to the wall or place a reflector shield on the other side of the table.
1. Throwing the ball onto the table with your free hand, hit it with a cutting motion, directing the ball not at the table, but at the backboard. The ball with bottom spin will hit the backboard into the far half of the table and fly to you (Fig. 23).
Rice. 23.
2. The same exercise on a table with a backboard can be performed rolling, but in this case the ball must be directed not at the backboard, but at the table, since the ball has top rotation and will bounce differently. The backboard can be tilted more forward, and the more you twist the ball with the racket, the more the backboard needs to be tilted.
3. You can perform the exercise on a table with a shield, performing cutting or rolling strikes only on the right or only on the left, or alternating once or twice on the right and once or twice on the left. You can alternately trim once, roll or trim once on the left, roll on the right, etc.
Table tennis is one of the most spectacular sports. Everything is captivating - the sparkling reaction, the stance, and the beautiful power attacks of the players. Despite the apparent simplicity of movements, tennis has its own tricks and secrets.
We invite you to watch the educational film “Table Tennis Techniques”. It will help both coaches and those who only dream of mastering its techniques. The game is an improvisation and the film will help enrich it with known ones, and maybe someone will come up with their own techniques.

Inventory
The game of ping pong is very democratic. You can “chase” the ball on the table wherever it is, as well as a small space near it to receive and reflect blows on the ball from the opponent:
- tennis tables are even found in some courtyards on playgrounds;
- balls for the game come in three categories, designated by the corresponding number of stars on them: three, which means the most durable, even and straight;
- A racket for beginners is better with regular hardness, i.e. without a spongy surface layer. By the way, you can make it yourself.
Training at the start
If you choose table tennis from all possible suggestions or desires, first of all you need to hold the racket correctly. The thumb grabs it on one side, and the index finger on the other side. The remaining fingers hold the racket handle in a way that is convenient for the athlete.
- hitting the ball after it bounces off the floor;
- hitting the ball alternately with both sides after bouncing off the floor;
- We repeat the techniques while sitting on the floor.
The following set of exercises is performed by squatting and rising up:
- juggling a ball while standing and sitting on the floor;
- additional condition: in a sitting position, you need to straighten your legs, and then do everything in the reverse order and stand up again, without stopping hitting the ball;
- repeat the exercise, hitting with the other side of the racket;
- then perform the exercise, hitting the ball with different impact forces;
- change the side of the racket;
- combine the last two techniques;
- hit the ball up several times and catch it so that it stays and does not bounce off the racket;
- hit the ball first with the flat side of the racket, and on the second bounce with the edge.
Tennis stance
Rocking up and down, freeze in a half-crouched position. The weight of the body should be evenly distributed over all points of support.
To securely consolidate your position, you can play with the ball, hitting the wall after bouncing off the floor.
Hitting the ball
“Right forward roll” is the strike most often used by athletes. They also help you master receiving the ball after being hit by an opponent. When practicing hitting techniques, special attention is paid to the position of the racket and elbow at the moment of hitting the ball. In this case, you do not need to bend your hand much.
In this position, the harder the ball is hit, the wider the stance of the athlete striking, and the wider the support of the tennis player’s body.
“Top spin forehand” is a fundamental element in modern tennis. When hitting, the hand with the racket gains the maximum possible speed, causing the ball to receive strong rotation through the top.
Other strokes resemble the forehand stroke, with only one difference: when swinging, the hand with the racket drops a little lower. The blow is softer, and the legs “sit” deeper under the ball and is performed at greater speed, and is accompanied, accordingly, by a rapid movement in front of the table.
Of course, before starting training, you need to thoroughly learn the rules of the game and specific terminology.
Working on yourself and constant training will be good companions to the heights of sports.
