Racquet Science Academy (RSA) runs its table tennis centre from Office 102 in the Al Safa Centre in Karama, next to the Karama Post Office, and this is also the academy's contact address. The academy coaches children and adults, and describes its Karama centre as a place that prepares young players to become well-rounded table tennis players, with a coaching team made up of players it says are well known in the UAE Table Tennis league. Classes come in three sizes: a group of four students to one coach, a semi-private pair, or one-to-one private coaching, each 60 minutes, twice a week. Beyond Karama, RSA also coaches table tennis, tennis and badminton at other Dubai venues and offers home coaching, but the Karama centre is table tennis only. The venue is easy to reach from Oud Metha, Bur Dubai and Mankhool.

The activity

Table Tennis, explained

Table tennis is fast, close-up and easy to start: a child needs a bat, a ball and a table, and the basics come quickly. Coaches teach grip, footwork and the basic strokes, then build up to serves, spin and match play. Because the ball moves so quickly, the game trains reflexes, hand-eye coordination and concentration, and it is low-impact, so it suits children who are not drawn to contact or team sports. It is played indoors, which makes it a year-round option in Dubai's summer heat. Children usually start once they can comfortably reach and see over the table, so ask the provider what age they take beginners from.

Who it's for

Children and adults, from complete beginners to experienced players. The academy says its Karama programmes are tailored to each player's skill and age level; it does not publish a minimum age for this centre, so ask the provider which age they take beginners from.

What to expect

Every class lasts 60 minutes and runs twice a week (eight sessions a month). Beginners are steered towards the group class of four students per coach, which the academy describes as the place to join the community and build up gradually; semi-private (two per coach) and private (one-to-one) classes give more individual time. Missed classes must be made up by the end of the month or term. The academy does not publish a trial-class policy or a kit list, so ask the provider about a first session, what to wear and whether bats are provided.
