Table Tennis 8-Week Curriculum

 

Course 1 - Beginner Level

Purpose

This course curriculum is designed as a standardized guideline for an 8-week course (1-hr classes) to teach the basic concepts of Table Tennis to beginner/intermediate level students. It may be necessary to evaluate the student’s level of Table Tennis knowledge and advance these students to a more intermediate level curriculum. It will be at the instructor’s discretion to modify the curriculum for these students. However, it is also recommended that the instructor teach the same weekly topic/concept as being taught for the rest of the class for course consistency.

Note: Since this curriculum is a general instructor’s guideline, specific styles or methods of teaching techniques will not be included in this curriculum and it will be up to the discretion and experience of the training instructor as to the style/method they wish to teach. The goal is that the students receive the same class topic being taught to them regardless of whom the instructor is for that week’s class.

Results

At the end of the 8-week course, students should have a basic understanding of Table Tennis and should be competent in the following areas of the sport.
