Lesson 10 - Pingpong_robot – description

 

Playing table tennis with a dispensing machine, also known as a robot, is a fun and exciting way for kids to practice their skills and improve their game. The robot can simulate different types of shots and game situations, providing valuable practice opportunities. To start, kids should stand on their side of the table, facing the robot. The robot will dispense balls towards them, mimicking the shots of a real opponent. It's important to position themselves at a comfortable distance from the table, with their feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. As the robot dispenses the balls, kids should use their racket to hit the balls back over the net. They can practice different strokes, such as forehand drives or backhand chops, depending on the type of shot the robot delivers. The goal is to return the balls with control and accuracy.

Kids can adjust the settings on the robot to vary the speed, spin, and placement of the balls. This allows them to challenge themselves and work on specific aspects of their game. They can gradually increase the difficulty as they become more comfortable and proficient in their strokes.

Playing with the robot offers kids the opportunity to develop hand-eye coordination, timing, and footwork. It also helps them improve their reflexes and decision-making skills as they react to the robot's shots. The repetition of hitting balls from the robot will build muscle memory and consistency in their strokes.

It's important for kids to focus on their technique while playing with the robot. They should maintain a relaxed grip on the racket, use their legs to generate power in their shots, and aim to hit the ball with the middle of the racket. Coaches or instructors can provide guidance on proper technique and offer tips for improvement. Kids should approach the game with enthusiasm and a positive mindset.

It's an opportunity to have fun, be creative, and challenge themselves. They can set personal goals and track their progress over time, celebrating their achievements and identifying areas for further improvement. Playing with a dispensing machine allows kids to practice independently and at their own pace. It complements regular training sessions and provides an additional avenue for skill development. Kids can enjoy the game with the robot as a way to enhance their table tennis abilities and prepare for competitive play.
