How to track your Table Tennis improvement

Track your Table Tennis improvement by logging every match in an app that calculates ELO ratings. ELO is the only metric that adjusts for opponent quality, so a rising ELO means you're genuinely improving — not just beating weaker players more often. Volley does this automatically across 9 sports. Free on iOS and Android.

Why this matters for table tennis players

The reason this question matters so much is that Table Tennis players tend to use stats as a way to track motivation. A clear number that goes up over weeks of practice is the closest thing recreational sport has to a leaderboard. Without it, improvement feels invisible.

How Volley tracks this automatically

In Volley, every match you score feeds into the relevant stat. Your dashboard shows rating, recent form, win/loss, and head-to-head against any opponent. Free, automatic, works for all 9 sports.

Tips for improving

Three things consistently move stats: more matches per week (sample size), playing stronger opponents (ELO leverage), and being honest about scoring (don't round up). All three are easier with an app than with a notebook.
