The program is open to students from Year 2 to Year 6 and is suitable for complete beginners as well as children who have played before. Parents and carers are also welcome to join the sessions free of charge.

Across the 8 weeks, participants will progressively learn the fundamentals of table tennis, including:

• how to hold the bat correctly;
• ready position, balance and movement;
• forehand and backhand strokes;
• how to serve and return serve;
• how to control the ball and build a rally;
• how to play points and matches;
• basic tactics, positioning and decision-making.

Sessions will combine skill-based activities, fun challenges, partner exercises and games. The focus will be on helping participants develop confidence, coordination, consistency and enjoyment of the sport in a welcoming environment.

Participants will also learn about fair play, taking turns, encouraging others and showing good sportsmanship.
