On Monday 18th February, a group of players attended Greenfield Table Tennis club for a 3 hour coaching camp with qualified coaches Matthew Porter and Ben Kelly.

Whilst the main emphasis of the course was about the children having fun, they also had the opportunity to get a good grasp of the basic skills needed to play the game. Most of the players had enjoyed playing this popular pastime on holiday without any coaching. Matthew and Ben were astounded at how quickly the standards of the children’s game improved in such a short space of time, with a series of skills development and game play.

In the closing stages of the day the participants rose to the challenge of an “It’s a knockout” style competition, in which Matthew Davis won the championship in a closely fought match against Connor Elston.

Due to the success of the camp, another is planned during the Easter holiday, Monday 8th April from 10am -1pm for ages 8+, costing only £5

Weekly sessions also take place every Monday (term time only) 5:30-6:30pm with Matthew. For further information please contact Michael on 07879 117224.
