Table Tennis
Junior Play and Coaching
|
If you are a complete beginner, returning after injury, a bit
rusty, or an experienced and regular player, virtually everyone
can benefit from coaching at some point in their playing life. A
coach can help you learn, generally improve or work on a
particular aspect of your game. Whatever you want to achieve,
it’s great fun and really satisfying to feel you are learning
and progressing.
Children of all ages can also really benefit from playing table
tennis. Not only as an outlet for their boundless energy,
but also from the discipline of learning a sport and the social
interaction of the game. At Limpsfield LTC juniors are very
welcome and we can teach the skill of table tennis to juniors
from 8 to 80!
Limpsfield LTC has a licenced Table Tennis Coach, Brian
Spicer, who offers individual and group
coaching for members of all ages and abilities. If you want to
book an individual coaching session, or get a few friends
together to organise some group coaching, please call Brian
on 07962 262727 or call the Club Office on
01883 714079.
Fees for table tennis
coaching are paid direct to the coach.
Non-members can have coaching at the Club but they will have to
pay a Visitor fee in addition on each occasion, and are subject
to our
Visitor policy;
after 5 visits we would expect them to become a member of the
Club.
All of our club coaches hold relevant coaching qualifications
and have undergone a sports governing body initiated CRB check.

Fitness
Table tennis is an energetic sport which requires a reasonable
level of fitness. If a player has any health or fitness
problems, or any medical condition, then please ensure that the
coach is informed at the first session. Naturally every care is
taken to ensure the safety and well-being of the players.
However, as in any sport, injuries can occur and it is important
that parents are aware of this.
