Our Youth Department
We coach young people of various age groups. Experience shows that 6-8 years is a good age to start table tennis. However, some basic knowledge is desirable and necessary to participate in training. Since table tennis is a very “fine motor skill” sport that requires a lot of patience and concentration, you will quickly realize if it’s the right sport for you.
If the youngsters don’t have equipment yet, that’s no problem. We always have a few test rackets available, and nobody needs to bring balls anyway. Depending on their skill level, the youngsters are welcome to participate in matches in appropriate performance classes, but certain basic skills are required for this. To test this, we invented our “Table Tennis License.” These are simple exercises with ball and racket, and ultimately the serve as a basic prerequisite. If all exercises are mastered, there’s a certificate, and participation in matches is possible.
Detailed information about youth training can be found here and contact persons under Contacts.
We have set up a WhatsApp group specifically for the youth department. Current and relevant information about matches and training will be published here. Upon request, we will add the youngsters, and their parents if they wish, to this WhatsApp group.
Insights into Our Training Philosophy
In every sport, COORDINATION EXERCISES are an important component, and this applies greatly to table tennis. Various basic skills are required, which we teach through playful exercises, both in individual training, with obstacle course exercises, and with the robot. The exercises often cover several training goals simultaneously. To explain this practically, here are some examples:
BALANCE ABILITY – e.g., running an obstacle course while simultaneously balancing or bouncing the ball on the racket…
DIFFERENTIATION ABILITY – Fine-tuning individual movement phases through exercises such as knocking down cans or shooting into a placed net.
RHYTHM ABILITY – Grasping and implementing a given rhythm (robot) – tempo changes, run/hit/run – doubles play with the robot to coordinate running paths – concentration on ball placement and length, as well as the optimal point of contact (highest point of the trajectory).
REACTION ABILITY – Changing movement sequences based on signals (e.g., clapping) – fast/slow stroke changes or forehand/backhand on signal.
ADAPTABILITY – Adjusting to changed conditions – changes of direction with the robot – ball length or spin/speed – tactical adjustments in practice games – conscious selection of various serve techniques and placements in conjunction with the return.
COUPLING ABILITY – Coordinating movement sequences for each stroke with special concentration on feet, legs, torso, hitting arm, wrist, and of course, the gaze/concentration on the ball.

We are starting with one team each in District Class C and D. Here are match reports from some encounters...
Our Youth in Match Play
In youth table tennis leagues, there is no usual season with a preliminary round (before Christmas/autumn) and a second round (after Christmas/spring). Instead, two seasons are played per year, each a complete season before or after Christmas.
Training/League matches take place in the E-gym of Maristenkolleg Mindelheim. Further information on the league matches of the respective teams can be found via the links below. These lead to the leagues and match schedules of the teams.

Doppelspieltag der ersten und zweiten Jugend des TSV Mindelheim mit Turnierathmosphäre
Mit 4 Jugendmannschaften in der kleinen E-Halle hatte der Doppelspieltag der Mindelheimer Tischtennis Jugendmannschaften schon beinahe Turniercharakter. Einen gelungenen Heimauftritt zeigte die erste Jugend des TSV Mindelheim in der Bezirksklasse B. Sie setzte sich souverän gegen die SpVgg Langerringen durch und bestätigte damit als letztjähriger Aufsteiger ihre starke Form. Bereits im Doppel legten Sebastian Wucher und Sebastian Peter den Grundstein für den Erfolg. Mit einem souveränen 3:0-Sieg gegen das Langerringer Doppel brachte das Duo Mindelheim in Führung. In den Einzeln präsentierte sich das Mindelheimer Team anschließend sehr konstant. Sebastian Wucher, Sebastian Peter und Stefan Wucher zeigten eine starke Leistung und gewannen zwei ihrer drei Einzel und mussten sich alle lediglich der Nummer 1 der Gäste geschlagen geben. Nach rund zwei Stunden Spielzeit stand ein verdienter 7:3-Erfolg für den TSV Mindelheim fest. Mit einem deutlichen Satzverhältnis von 23:11 und einem klaren Ballverhältnis unterstrichen die Gastgeber ihre Überlegenheit.
Die zweite Jugend des TSV Mindelheim ist ebenfalls letztjähriger Aufsteiger und hat sich in der Jugend 19 Bezirksklasse C ein 5:5-Unentschieden gegen den SC Blau-Weiß Ettringen gesichert. Im Eingangsdoppel mussten Gabriel Kobold und Sabber Md nach fünf umkämpften Sätzen den ersten Punkt knapp an die Gäste abgeben. Und nachdem die beiden nächsten Einzel ebenfalls verloren gingen, waren die Gäste bereits mit 3:0 in Führung. Dann läutete der Spitzenspieler der zweiten Jugend die Wende ein. Gabriel Kobold gewann in der Folge seine beiden ersten Einzel wie auch Sabber MD und Noa Jakljevic ihr zweites Einzel souverän, sodass Mindelheim plötzlich mit 4:3 in Führung lag. Ettringen glich jedoch postwendend wieder aus und nachdem Noa Jakljevic gegen die Spitzenspielerin der Ettringer nach großem Kampf nur knapp unterlag, stand es also 4:5 aus Sicht der Gastgeber. Gabriel Kobold behielt jedoch in seinem letzten Match die Nerven und sorgte mit einem klaren 3:0-Erfolg für ein leistungsgerechtes 5:5, das auch durch das nahezu ausgeglichene Ballverhältnis unterstrichen wurde.

Review of the first season 2025...
After both youth teams were promoted last season, the primary goal for the new season was to maintain their league status. Due to various factors, the 1st youth team unfortunately only played one match of the season with a full squad, and the level was too high for the substitutes from the 2nd youth team. Thus, remaining in a strong District Class A was not possible. The number 1 player, Jeremias Kobold, had already successfully played for the senior teams parallel to the youth league, and he will reinforce them next season.
The 2nd youth team fared better, securing third place with great enthusiasm and fighting spirit behind the two strong teams from Langerringen and Ettringen, who are also promoted. With a total of 7 players, some of whom gained their first experience in competitive play, they can celebrate their successful retention in District Class C.
With an average attendance of 15-20 young people born from 2014 onwards at each training session, the youth department will again be represented by 2 teams in competitive play in the new season.
