Before and After

Learn to fully develop your game

 
 
 
Before and After
 
When developing a specific skill in table tennis, it is very important to think about the shot before and the shot after.  Let me explain…

Personalized Programs

Check out what we now offer!!!!

 
 
 
 
 
Weekly Group Classes
 
For the weekend clinics, we usually have a theme for the weekend such as strokes, footwork, tactics, serving, etc… and each player will do similar drills throughout the weekend that are level appropriate all geared toward the topic for the weekend.
 
On Tuesday evening, the kids group class goes from 6-7:30pm and the teen/adult group class goes from 7:30-9pm.  For the kids, I’ll be personalizing training programs for them in the future.  But for now, most of the kids are doing similar drills.

Teamwork

Friends or Enemies?

 
 
 
 
In the US, most serious players take private lessons from a pro.  Throughout the world, private lessons are a rarity and many players participate in group sessions.  Regardless if you are 500 or 2500 level, I recommend that you take a mixture of both.  Private lessons for specific issues and group lessons for several reasons that I’ll be outlining in this article.  Here are the five reasons that I recommend that you take group lessons.

Basic Plans

Developing a basic Tactical Plan for competitions
 
Every player devotes most of his/her time to technical training; but tactical training is essential to apply the technique in every match and competition. Tactical training’s objective is that the player learns how to carry out a plan during the game; and this varies from one player to another. So, this plan must be properly structured.

My Motivation

by Samson Dubina on Thu, 2016-03-17 08:54
Read the Bible Verse of the Week

 
 
 
 
 
 
Jesus Christ is my motivation for everything in life.  He put aside his own comfort, humbled himself in coming to earth, died the death that I deserved, and was raised again to give me new life.  This morning, I was reading one of my favorite Bible verses and thought that I would share it with you…
 
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
 

Winning At Deuce

Learn to play your strongest tactics

 
 
 
 
 
“If I could have won all the deuce games at the last tournament, I would be rated over 1400 now!”
 
“If my opponent hadn’t got 2 nets at deuce, I would have had the upset of my life.”
 
“If I could have won all the deuce games at the state championship, I would have won the title 4-0.”

The Future of Table Tennis

by Samson Dubina on Wed, 2016-03-09 10:39
Check out my 5 predictions about the future...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Future of Table Tennis
 
 
Today, many coaches in the US are teaching outdated table tennis techniques from the 80’s and 90’s.  The strokes and strategies that once were used to reach a world class level are now much less effective as the old has been replaced with better equipment, more efficient strokes, and more advanced playing styles.  So, I want to say that coaches in the US should do their best to keep up to date.
 
More importantly, coaches in the US should LOOK TO THE FUTURE.
