The structure of table tennis training is governed by the training rules that outline all organized sports and divides into two categories; general and specific training. General training refers to the development of physical abilities while specific training refers to the improvement and development of technical and regular skills. This review aims to collect and analyse the studies that refer to table tennis training with the Multiball method. Even though this method has been extensively used for years, the volume, frequency and duration of the training stimulus have not been clearly defined yet. The literature review shows that modification in the parameters of this training method makes it possible to simulate competition conditions and improve technical and regular skills. Therefore, it is crucial for table tennis coaches to be familiar with the application methodology of Multiball training in order to provide the training stimuli that reinforce the training process depending on the athletes` needs and requirements. This study presents researches that refer to Multiball training and provides highlights for the organization of the training process.
