The ball is in play from the last moment at which it is stationary on the palm of the free hand before being intentionally projected in service until the rally is decided as a let or a point. A let is a rally of which the result is not scored. A point is a rally of which the result is scored. The racket hand is the hand carrying the racket. The free hand is the hand not carrying the racket; the free arm is the arm of the free hand. A player strikes the ball if he or she touches it in play with his or her racket, held in the hand, or with his or her racket hand below the wrist. A player obstructs the ball if he or she, or anything he or she wears or carries, touches it in play when it is above or travelling towards the playing surface, not having touched his or her court since last being struck by his or her opponent. The server is the player due to strike the ball first in a rally. The receiver is the player due to strike the ball second in a rally. The umpire is the person appointed to control a match. The assistant umpire is the person appointed to assist the umpire with certain decisions.

-5- Body Movement & Footwork Like any other sport in Table Tennis we need to have following things to be done before playing table TT. And it will also reduce the chances of injure while playing. Exercise for Body Movement: Warm up: (rise the body temperature in order to reduce the chances of injure) Start with moving your joints to head in a regular time break; have activities like jumping, skipping rope, running etc. Off Table Exercise: Shadow Practice, moves of back strokes in TT. On Table Exercise: Target hitting practice, control on ball during play, Coordination between (eye, hand & foot); multi ball training. Game Play: Playing games according to rule of TT, involving fun activities like who win stay on table etc. Match Play: best of 1 match, simulation of match situation in exercise period. Warm down: a light exercise in order decreases the body temperature of player. Beat the Champion Exercise for Foot work: As TT require a lot of strength, speed, movement, and reach toward / away from the ball during the play. Foot work can be improve by introducing activities like mirror (one player is mirror & other is respondent), three step table covering, Drill of Forehand) (right counter)-forehand (midline counter) & Backhand (left counter); there are lots of drill on table. ( ) Mirror Exercise (3 Step move to cover right to left corner of TT) (Different Fun Activities) (Service Position) (Ready Position)
-6-3rd April 2015 (Day Three): Bio Mechanics / Technique Behind Table Tennis Ball Motion / Position (Before During After) ball reach toward players As ball hollow sphere are made of celluloid or plastic, Size now day 40+mm (previous it was 40mm & 38mm) weight 2.7g. We can impart or add spin / speed to the ball. As I told TT is a game of angle of. player can add spin on ball ust brushing the ball with an angle of. & add Speed by hitting the ball without brushing. We can impart heavy spin by maximising the period of contact while ball is on the racket by pealing the ball like pealing potato / taking out ice cream with spoon. Before: When Ball is reaching toward receiver court player will move her / his racket back away from table from its ready position. During: After ball bounce on receiver court the player will move her/his racket forward & hit the ball in its ma imum high with an angle of contact of racket will be of. After: After hitting the ball follow though the motion & regain the ready position. How, Where & When As we learn about how to hit the ball with no spin & with spin. So in order to deal with different types of ball during motion we have to know How, where & when to hit the ball when it is reaching towards receiver player. Path of ball on receiver court can be divided into three parts i.e. bounce, top- maximum height attained & falling down. Tip: According to the nature of ball with no spin ball receiver need to proper carry the ball and do what she/he want to do with that ball (mean top spin, back spin, side spin etc.). but if ball is coming with spin According it you have to react ( like Topspin you have to do backspin spin in order to rotate the ball in same direction & vice versa ; And if Side spin try to read the spin on serving side & rotate the ball in which it is moving ).
Backhand & Forehand (Something Added): Push, Top, Chop, loop and Smash. Push -7-

-12-4th April 2015 (Day four): Para Table Tennis How, Where & When As we learn about how to hit the ball with no spin & with spin. So in order to deal with different types of ball during motion we have to know How, where & when to hit the ball when it is reaching towards receiver player. Path of ball on receiver court can be divided into three parts i.e. bounce, top- maximum height attained & falling down. Effect of Spin: (Topspin: ball bounce high & Backspin: ball bounce down)
-13-
-14- How to Deal with different type of Spin Topspin Serve: Receiver should apply backspin on the ball. Servicer Player :Who service the ball (Direction Receiver Player (Should react according to of force applied) approaching ball) Topspin (Up & Forward) Backspin (Down & Forward) Right Sidespin (move racket to your left) Left Sidespin (move Racket to your right) Back spin (Down & Forward) on the ball Topspin (Up & Forward) Move racket to your left Move racket to your right Multi Ball Training & Physical Fitness Multi Ball training is now day very popular. This concept of training comes from china. It is generally use to increase the Strength, Consistency in strokes, Target practice, Variation in the type of service form the feeder / coach who feed the ball to the player increase the frequency of ball in order to decrease the reaction time to player toward approaching ball; which definitely help to react faster than other. Physical Fitness: As table tennis is a game of Control, perfection and proper execution of Strokes. But now due the celluloid ball is replace with new plastic ball & size is also 40+mm which require more physical strength, need more power in strokes; that s why the Chinese coach are working on the physical exercise & appoint specialised physical trainer according to the play for China Table tennis team (men / women)
