Table tennis coaching for juniors at Smash Center 11.8.2025-31.5.2026
Smash’s junior table tennis coaching is designed for children and youth aged 7 to 17.
Our program includes players who have just discovered table tennis as well as some of the top talents in Finland in their age groups—there’s a suitable training group for everyone!
In spring 2025, our coaching groups currently include nearly 40 junior players, and both the number of participants and our success have been growing strongly! Smash achieved its first-ever victory in the inter-club GP series in spring 2025.
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.
