 BRIEF
INTRODUCTION

Footwork in table tennis is not entirely automated. Players, both amateur and professionals,
where not use technically perfect footwork during a rally. Things are not that simple for the
opponent trying to put the ball into awkward locations if stances and footwork develop
correctly.

For the ready position, feet should be slightly further apart than shoulder width to have a
solid base. The free arm is used for balance with your shoulders forward. Weight should be on
the toes. Racket needs to be in a neutral position to play, whether a backhand or a forehand
stroke.

Good footwork is essential for it enables players to quickly reach the ball, return the ball to
the opponents’ court, put pressure on the opponent, and, more significant, play a variety of
strokes.

Standard footwork used in table tennis are crossover footwork, which is used to cover a large
distance quickly; one step footwork is performed by stepping towards the ball with the closest
foot, side to side footwork is moving to the left and right with a quick side to side shuffling steps.

What are the other basic skills needed in table tennis?

• Grip – is the way how the player holds the racket. There are 3 types of grip.

Penhold it resembles holding a pen. Here the player’s middle,

ring, little fingers are curled around the racket.

Shakehand As the name suggests, this type of grip resembles one

shaking a hand. This hold is also called the Western
grip as many players of Europe and America use this
style of holding a racquet.
Seemiller This grip is named after Danny Seemiller, as he was
the one who used this technique. To have this kind of
grip, one should place the thumb and index finger on
either side of the racquet and the rest of the fingers
should be placed at the bottom part.
• Bat (Racket) Angles

Neutral The racket is in vertical position. This is the ready

position. From this position you can perform backhand
or forehand stroke.
Closed When the striking surface is angled downwards. It is
used to play topspin or block stroke.

Open When the striking surface is angled upwards. It is used

to play backspin or push stroke.

• Basic Ball Control

Reasonable table tennis strokes rely on good ball control. To practice ball control, you can follow
the following steps.
1. Bouncing the ball on the forehand side of the racket, attempting to reach a uniform height.
2. Repeat 1 but using the backhand side of the racket.
3. Bouncing the ball in each side of the racket.
4. Repeating exercise 1,2 and 3 but varying the height of the bounce.
5. Repeating the all the exercises but with added movement, it could be walking or jogging.
 • Basic strokes

Backhand Push To play this stroke, stand close to the table and
take a stance facing the line of play. Strike the ball
on the back bottom portion so that you can impart
slight backspin.

Forehand Push Strike the back bottom part of the ball with a very
light touch. The ball should have a trace of back
spin.

Backhand Drive The action is similar to that of throwing frisbee.

Striking the top part back part of the ball with an
forceful brush.

Forehand Drive Strike the top back part of the ball with a forceful
brush in an upward direction.

The importance of having and maintaining an exercise program should be kept in mind to
become a healthier individual. Even at a young age, you need to take care of yourself by
doing exercises and participating in various sports like dual sports. Exercise and sports
participation should always be part of your routine.

Our focus on developing physical and mental strength of the participant. In this module the
students need to assess themselves in order for them to be fit for the sport Arnis (offensive,
defensive, different techniques in Arnis and Anyo)

ACTIVITY 1

Basic Footwork Drills 1

A. Directions: Perform the following movement and evaluate performance based on the rubrics.

1. Side to side footwork – Also known as sliding step. In a ready position (feet are apart and knees
bent), slide left foot to the right side, then immediately followed by right foot going to the right side.
Then slide right foot towards the left side, directly moving left foot to the side. Perform activity ten
times.

side, and returns in place. Perform this activity ten times.

B. Take a picture of your performance of the three different footwork.
