    I play everyday basically. I've rested for a while at the moment for my exams but in the summer I will train 6 times a week for 7 hours a day and then play my singles league on sunday.:D :D :D :D Hard work but definately worth it for next season.

    Remember that quality is better than quantity.

    7 hours a day is fine, but make sure it is structured. Dont do more than 2hours physical work, first of all you will train your muscles to be marathon like, rather than sprint. Secondly how many times have you played a match for more than two hours. Thirdly at any level speed is paramount, and you cant practise speed for more than 30 mins, other wise you wont be improving it. Even the pros play if they play at full speed they slow down after 30 min (see any cai/fu match)

    Although I am a student, I play almost in every weekday, after lunch and after school.
    However, some Form 1s this year are just crazy: they are divided into 2 groups. In lunch-time, while group A is having lunch, group B play for 1/2 hour; then group B go to have lunch, and group A play for another 1/2 hour...
