Fred 16 - Fred Table Tennis 31 Aug 2009 (6 Years 5 Months)

A short clip showing some of tonights 'exciting' action. The 1st half shows a few of his topspin shots, the second half shows a few rallies. You should notice quite an improvement in his Backhand since the last vid, and he is becoming a lot quicker with his movement. Warning, this is not a European Championship video.

hi! i have also a 6 year old son.i've teaching him table tennis for 3-4 months now.he has a good skills and he learned very fast. but the problem is he is not so serious in playing. sometimes when he's playing table tennis, he hit the ball very hard imagining a baseball game, and laughing. what shall i do to make him serious in playing?i want him to become a champion. thanks!

@yangyang45 It is difficult to make someone serious if they aren't. One thing that used to keep Fred going was incorporating little games into the practices. eg He would score a point if he got the ball on 10 times and I would score if he didn't. I also used to have targets on the table like sweets which he could eat if he hit them.
