Table tennis coaching for juniors at Smash Center 12.8.2024 - 1.6.2025
Welcome to table tennis junior coaching! Smash's junior table tennis coaching is aimed at children and teens aged 7-17.
Our activities include those who have just discovered table tennis as well as Finland's top players in their age group - there is a suitable training group for everyone!
On group training, players are divided according to level and age, so that every junior can find their own, suitable group and we can consider each player more individually. You can find our table tennis training package below.
In the training, table tennis is practiced in a variety of ways and we learn, for example, bat and ball control skills, hitting techniques as well as game rules and tactical subtleties. The maximum size of the groups is 10 players per group.
In the training, we also learn about things related to sports culture, setting up tables and nets, and refereeing.
We encourage players to participate in our internal game events and competitive activities - during the season you can practice them in our own facilities.
The coach is experienced professional table tennis coach Alexander Dyroff.
Our main coaching and information language is Finnish, but Alexander can coach in a total of six languages: Finnish, German, English, Swedish, French, Russian.
Training for juniors takes place on Smash Center's badminton court 1, where we have 4-5 tables.
