However, since table tennis is a breeze to play a lot of people do not see the need to get proper training for it. This is okay if you just want to have some fun hitting the ball once in a while, but if you really want to be good in the game, then you really have to take table tennis training.

A lot of people are hesitant to undergo table tennis training since it is somewhat unusual. Most people do not view it like swimming lessons that a lot of kids really go through. But like any sport, table tennis training follows a flow of discipline. Here are some things you need to consider when you plan to take table tennis lessons:

1. Frequency – the frequency of your table tennis training really depends on you – on what your goal is, how much you can commit, your urge to improve, your schedule, your budget, among many others. But generally, if you want to improve your game you should have at least one training session each week, and then another session to play as well. Lessons are useless if you do not practice what you learn. But playing too much can also be counter productive. You have to carefully study your schedule and spell out how much you can devote for your table tennis training. Stick with the schedule you have set to ensure that you would be getting the most from your training.

2. Duration of the training – how long you train is another consideration. It is usually recommended to train for just an hour to an hour and half like other kinds of sports. If you go longer than that, your concentration can suffer and you might even grow tired of the sport instead of loving it.

3. Training style – the type of lesson really depends on your level as a table tennis player. If you are a beginner, you should have a good foundation on the technique for hitting the table with the ball. This sounds to be too basic a task, but it is the very foundation of table tennis and a lot of amateur players miss out on this one. Table training should be mastered really well for other techniques to be learned. This level of training decreases the chances of your hitting the ball into other directions.

Once you are able to ground yourself with table training you can work on the next most important strokes for your training. These include the backhand counterhit, the forehand counterhit, the backhand push, the forehand push, the serve, and the serve return. Without these things you cannot expect to move to the next, intermediate, level of table tennis playing.

You can also include in your table tennis training some of the fun stuff – the tricks of the trade that make table tennis all the more exciting. This includes the lobbing, smashing, the forehand loop and the backhand loop. Soon enough you can mix these strokes up to give an impressive game.

4. Attitude – no matter how much training you take for how long and what kind, you would not succeed in table tennis if you do not have the attitude to follow through. Table tennis is very much a mental sport as it is a physical sport. You mind has to be very active as everything happens quickly, even quicker than in most other types of sports.

The attitude is also very much important during table tennis training. You have to focus on what you are training for at a certain time. You should set your mind to learn the strokes, that you are practicing. You should also pay attention to your trainer or your training partner. You might have to take turns feeding balls to each other and when it is your turn be good at it as you would hitting the ball. You can learn from all aspects of training if you put your mind to it.

Table tennis training may not really be that important for most people. But if you really want to be good in this game, it is something that is inevitable for you to go through.

1. Table

The table must be rectangular.  The official size should be 2.73 m in length and 1.525 m in width, rising 76 cm from the floor.  The table can be made from any material as long as the average bounce of a ball is 23 cm when someone drops it from a 30 cm height.  The top of the table needs to be made of a matte, non-shiny finish and in a dark color with 2.74m white side lines.

2. Ball

The current table tennis rules dictate that the diameter of the ball be 40mm and shall have a weight of 2.7 grams.  It must be of a plastic element such as celluloid.  The regulation colors are either to be white or orange and to be in a matte finish.  

3. Paddle

The paddle or racket can have any shape, weight, or size as long as the blade portion is flat and contains at least 85% real wood.  The sides of the blade need to be overlaid with rubber of a thickness no more than 2mm.  If an opponent changes his racket at any point in the match, both his opponent and the umpire are entitled to look it over.  

4. Game and Match

The game is won by the first player to reach 11 points.  If, however, both players get to 10 points then the winner is the player who first gains a lead of 2 points.  The table tennis rules indicate a match should consist of the best of any certain odd number of games played.

5. Points

If an opponent does not make a correct return or correct service, then their opponent gets the point.  If the ball is served and passes over the opponent’s side of the table without touching it, then the opponent gets the point.  If the ball is hit twice in succession by a single player, then the opponent of that player gets the point.  If a player moves the playing surface or net, then their opponent gets the point.  If a player’s free hand rests or touches the playing surface while the ball is in play, then the opponent gets the point.  These are the official table tennis rules.
