1. REPORT BY: JABIDO, FEROLIN, & ESMAIL BASIC FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS IN TABLE TENNIS

2. INTRODUCTION The sport Table Tennis comes from humble beginnings. Once just a parlor game in England, has become a popular recreational activity worldwide. Table Tennis is even played at a professional level. As of 1988, Table Tennis has been included in the Summer Olympic Games. Although the premise of Table Tennis is simple, there are many skills required to make a Table Tennis player great.

3. Grip Forehand Backhand Serving Pushes Flicks Spinning the Ball Loops Footwork Speed BASIC FUNDAMENTAL SKILL OF TABLE TENNIS

4. This is one of the most significant skills that table tennis players need to master. If players can’t grip the paddle properly, they won’t be able to utilize the other skills because they won’t be able to hit the correct shots at the right angles. GRIP

5. Types of Grips: a. Shakehand b. Penhold *Handshake or shakehand ; still the same.

6. Also known as FOREHAND DRIVE , is often the first and most fundamental skill that a table tennis player learns . Th e swing occurs when the ball is coming to the side of the body that is holding the paddle . FOREHAND

7. A Forehand Drive should mimic the motion of hitting the ball with your palm, with the thumb facing upward

8. BACKHAND Also known as BACKHAND DRIVE, occurs when the ball is heading towards the side of the player’s body that is not holding the paddle. In such scenario, the player could adjust their stance and use footwork to make a forehand swing, but often times the ball is too fast for that. Instead, they use the “backhand swing.”

9. They move their paddle across the body’s center point and hit the ball within the backside of the paddle.

10. A Table Tennis serve consists of hitting the ball from your hand, bouncing it once on your side of the table; onto your opponent’s side. SERVING

11. There are many countless serving variations used by the best Table Tennis players, but the most basic forms are: a. Forehand Serve b. Backhand Serve

12. Forehanded and Backhanded pushes are used for returning shortballs. SHORTBALLS – means that the opponent hits the ball and it lands on your side; very close to the net. PUSHES

13. When this happens, the player leans forward so they are closer to the ball and net. Instead of swinging at the ball, they make a short-chopping movement to brush the bottom of the ball with their paddle. This generates enough force to get the ball over the net without flying off the table.

14. Pushes can be done regardless of what side of the table the ball lands at. Play video

15. Forehand and Backhand are used to aggressively return an opponent’s ball that has a spin on it. Like push, this often happens when the ball is close to the net. Unlike a push, where a player brushes the bottom of the ball to get it back over, the flick uses quick motion of the wrist and elbow to get the ball right back over the net. FLICKS

16. This will land on the table more constantly than a full-swing when returning a shortball. Play video

17. Spin is very important offensively and defensively because it makes it difficult for you opponent to read your next move. SPINNING THE BALL

18. TOPSPIN – occurs when paddle swings from low to high. BACKSPIN – comes from swinging your paddle from high to low . RIGHT SIDESPIN – when your paddle grazes across the ball going left to right. LEDT SIDESPIN – when your paddle goes across from right to left . 4 MAJOR TYPES OF SPIN IN TABLE TENNIS

20. In modern Table Tennis, loops are most common form of offense used to put spin on the ball for more advanced players. A loop consists of the players swinging their paddle in the path from low to high ; in an aggressive manner. LOOPS

21. Play video This generates a lot of topspin, making it harder for the opponent to return the ball.

22. Having quick feet is essential to becoming a proficient Table Tennis player. Players must be able to react to balls hit on their side quickly, and mastering footwork patterns is the best way to make sure you get to the ball in time. FOOTWORK

23. Table Tennis players need to be able to work side to side and in and out. This means you will need to be able to move your feet quickly from one side to another and from the front to the back of the table.

24. These are the two motions that should be practiced most, as Table Tennis players rarely finds themselves crossing their feet over one another. Play video

25. Speed is most imperative skill, in order to compete at the highest level of Table Tennis. While casual and recreational games may take a relaxed pace, competitive and professional players serve and paddle the ball in the excess of 70mph. SPEED

26. A competitive Table Tennis player will have the velocity in their serve and swing; in addition to an overall quickness in their gameplay. Play video
