On Saturday 20th July, eight Warwickshire Cadets came to Colebridge Table Tennis Club, Shirley for some pre-season cadet training, organised and ran by Warwickshire Cadet Team captain Kate Hughes.

The session involved a series of regular and irregular exercises, as well as some service and return drills, point construction and match play. Prior to the lunch break, the players also took part in a 20 minute fitness circuit to focus upon the importance of physical fitness in table tennis.

All of the cadets trained exceptionally hard and were able to gain additional experience by practising with Matt Outhwaite and Sam Henderson who kindly supported the training session.

The eight players who attended were Milly Bradshaw, Emma Kilpatrick, Lisa Rinnhofer, Katie Singleton, Timmy Cooper, Adam Cofler, Andrew McIlvaney and Jack Green. Well done to all the players for their hard work and effort!
