About this opportunity
EKAM Table Tennis Academy runs a structured junior coaching program for children in Pune, taking players from foundational grip and footwork through advanced match play.
The program is aimed at younger players, with the academy's junior membership category covering students up to 15 years old and separate batches for adults aged 15 and above. No prior playing experience is required to join a beginner batch, and coaches place each student into a batch after an introductory trial session.
Training combines on-table coaching with time on a table tennis robot for shot consistency and reflexes, along with physical conditioning and sports nutrition guidance. Students who progress through the program have gone on to represent Maharashtra at the state level and compete in inter-university national tournaments.
The academy runs from a main centre as well as additional training centres in several localities across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, and is led by founder and head coach Subodh Korde alongside a panel of certified coaches.

Frequently asked questions
How do coaches decide which batch a child should join?
Coaches assess grip, footwork, and existing playing experience during an introductory trial session, then place each student into a beginner, intermediate, or advanced batch based on that assessment.
How does the table tennis robot fit into regular coaching?
Robot sessions supplement live coaching by giving students repeated, consistent shot practice, helping build muscle memory and reflexes between coach-led drills and match-strategy sessions.
