International Table Tennis Course successfully con

A technical course for coaches in table tennis has been held in Addis Ababa from April 17-23, 2007. The International coaching course for ITTF Level One Coaches was given to 28 trainees from the nine regional states and two city administrations. Olympic Solidarity, Ethiopian Olympic Committee and Ethiopian Table Tennis Federation as well as International Table Tennis Federation organized the course. According to the trainer Mr. Sylvain Chermette, “In the immediate future the country will not be a world leader in high level table tennis like Germany, but if motivation and passion count for anything, their progress will be rapid and standard of table tennis in the country will no doubt grow. The Ethiopian National Team was third at the African Table Tennis Championship in 2004 and could be regular claimant to African titles and medals in the next few years.”
