Abstract

An effective table tennis training method for beginner players aims to form the basis of technique, improve coordination, and build endurance and consistency in the game. The purpose of this study is to examine in depth the table tennis training methods for beginners to develop basic skills, build a strong foundation, increase self-confidence, develop skills, and foster interest and love for table tennis. This research uses the library research method. The results show that table tennis training for beginners is a very important first step in forming the basis of a player's technical, physical and mental skills. The training process that is carried out gradually and systematically, starting from warm-up, mastering basic techniques, ball control, to serving variations, aims to ensure players have a strong foundation in playing. With a developmentally appropriate approach to motor development and individual abilities, these drills help improve coordination, reflexes, and overall shot accuracy. Therefore, structured and consistent training is key in supporting the development of beginner players towards a better and more competitive level of play.
