JUNIOR TRAINING PROGRAM
Our Junior Program is Split over 5 Tiers
STAGE 1 - REFLEX + BALANCE
This is the very first stage - suitable for kids under the age of 11 years old- this is a 10 week course working with the children to pass the above checklist- Some kids take a little longer than others to Ace the course and its pivotal the kids can pass all challenges before they can pass stage 1- The best part about this course is that is that we are developing important skills that kids can take into all sports in the future - increasing balance , timing, decision making whilst also covering the very basics of table tennis . The stage 1 Reflex and balance course is aimed to sharpen their motor skills and train the kids mind to focus and watch the ball whilst making accurate decisions - important attributes all kids should learn.

STAGE 2 - YOUNG GUN ENTRY PREP ( RATING 300-500)
​
Kids are now preparing to enter the young gun Super league competition - this is where the fun really starts - Stage 2 teaches now under spin pushing , changing the spin , one step footwork and match rules and strategy , during stage 2 training they will be entered into super league competition and receive their official ratings- after 1 term of events and training your results will tell the story - If you can successfully hold a rating of 500+ - you are ready to now move on to stage 3.
​
STAGE 3 - INTERMEDIATE ( 500- 850 RATED )
​
Our largest group of players are in this bracket - Kids with ratings from 500-800 are now fully in sync with regular competition and match play - the course now teaches Top spin , power, footwork , game play strategy, serving variation - To get over 850 rated mark is a very admirable milestone for the kids- they are able to really form their style of play at this stage .
STAGE 4 - ADVANCED (850+ RATED)
​
Stage 4 Players will all be preparing to enter state events and their game to the next level- Increased intensity, speed, spin, footwork, power and physical conditioning- it's yet another big leap from 850 rating to be able to get to over 1000, Stage 4 Players usually will be playing 3-4 times per week and on a specific pathway to really bring a complete game together, pushing for state selection - Players at this level should now already have their playing style decided on and set on specific training plan .

We Apologise for the limited availability for stage 1 new beginner kids - this is by far the most challenging tier as we need alot of 1-1 time to get the kids to pass the course, we are working on adding more sessions to accommodate new juniors. If unable to get into the term we offer private sessions with our Junior leadership group players - please reach out so we can link you up with a mentor to run private training at flexible times . We have trialled this method last term and we were really happy with the results and progress of the students so we have added more sessions available in term 2. Get in touch to find out more.
