From 21st May, through to the end of August, we will have a simplified arrangement for weekly practice:
- Thursdays will be the only practice night, and I have booked the sports hall from 7pm till 10pm
- the session will be split to ensure that players get the most appropriate training
- the period from 7pm till 8pm or thereabouts will be reserved for non-league players and weaker players who would appreciate more intensive coaching; given that we are a table tennis club, rather than a social club, the aim of these practice sessions is to improve the “newcomers” so they are able to compete in the lower division of the League from September onwards
- the period from 8pm till 9.45pm will be reserved for those of higher playing strength; the aim here is to hone the skills of the rapidly developing younger league players and to retain the skills and fitness of the older players.
There is one exception to the Thursday bookings: the hall will not be available on the 25th June, so the practice session will be on Wednesday 24th June instead.
