Coaching & kit

Table Tennis England qualified

Our coach is qualified through Table Tennis England. Coaching runs inside every session, and one-to-one sessions can be arranged if you want to work on something specific — a serve, a backhand, or starting from nothing at all.

There is also a robot, which will feed you the same ball a hundred times without getting bored. It is the fastest way to fix a stroke.
