TBBF Always in Flow – Online / Live Trainings for Free: Get Ready for Game, Session 1

Posted on by Mike Ritz

We are taking our Zoom offer, “TBBF always in flow”, to the next level.

Every two weeks any and all interested BailongBall players can join our free training session (60 min. each). We will show you various BailongBall disciplines. So far we have already started on forms by Olga Ardasheva and Irina Rusavina. This block of 6 sessions covers the discipline XPlay (also known as Multiplay).

The trainings take place on Thursdays at 7:30 PM CET. The second block with Irina started on February 10th. During these 6 sessions she teaches us her artistic creation “Heaven & Earth”. You could not participate in the first session or would like to watch the recording? Find all the details in this blog post, including schedule and links to the session recordings (at the end of the blog).

TBBF Always in Flow – Online / Live Trainings for Free: Get Ready for Game

Posted on by Mike Ritz

After the “Latina Form” by Olga Ardasheva, in this block we will switch from BailongBall forms to Xplay. Again, this block consists of 6 sessions, in which Philippe Marty will show us basic techniques, as well as advanced techniques.

Teaching XPlay via Web is of course a “special challenge”, considering the missing playing! And yet – Philippe has impressively demonstrated in his first session how basic techniques can also be practiced alone. With your own momentum or with the help of a wall – preferably windowless, in order not to distirb the neighbors ;-). Of course you can also ask another person for assistance – maybe the neighbor can throw a few balls?

Experiences with the Online BailongBall Junior Trainer Program

Posted on by Mike Ritz

We started with the following plan: Half the time we train via web conference and the other half traditionally, on site.

So on October 26, 2020, we started our first web conference based training session and shimmied from one pandemic social distancing ruling to the next. Bottom line: the entire Junior Trainer training took place via Zoom.

This required a lot of flexibility from the trainers Susanne Ritz, Mike Ritz and Shannon Ritz as well as from us, but this also had advantages, as we were able to schedule appointments at relatively short notice. We had different time windows, ranging from one hour to 4 hours, including breaks.

Advanced Techniques – Under the Leg

Posted on by Mike Ritz

You may recall the advanced technique “Behind the Back and Pivoting“? It helps you return balls approaching you at shoulder level, off to your racket-side. “Under the Leg” helps you returning those balls that approach you high and descend behind you. This move comes in handy, if you don’t have the time to take up position for a high forehand. Just like “Behind the Back and Pivoting” it is a pivotal move, allowing you to stay in place for quick (re)acting.
