Mini
This session is for children ages between 4 and 7 years. It focuses on using ping pong to develop basic motoric movement and coordination. Lots of fun games using different materials from balloons to umbrellaās!

Girls (and women) are under-represented in table tennis! Therefore this session is only for girls. The session focuses on fun games both physical, technical and tactical and also combines table tennis with childrenās popular music!
Youth
Our junior sessions are inclusive sessions for youngsters of all levels. Sessions are structured to include ātechnical skillsā together with fun games to maximise the enjoyment and therefore improvement levels of our youngsters. Chinese training methods are used during the sessions including āmulti-ballā and ārobot trainingā to focus all players on physical and technical areas of the game.
Community
This session is for competition players aiming to reach their full potential. Session intensity is high focusing on technical, tactical and physical development of the players. Players learn to develop a ātop sportā mentality to give them the knowledge of high level training methods to reach the higher levels of the game.
