Formation Of The Academy Board
The number of students attending training sessions at
the Academy has grown substantially over the first year of the Academy's operation. The need was felt for the formation of a board whose job would be to coordinate and organise the various activities and logistics as deemed fit for such a growing organisation. This
includes ranking tournaments, informative seminars, training camps, web site,
sponsorships, etc. The first meeting was held on the 22nd March and the board members are Mario Genovese, Edward Baldacchino, Alex Soler, Katia Mifsud, Tanya Baldacchino, Conrad Marmara, Chris Azzopardi, Robert Said and Mark Zammit.

Table Tennis Exhibitions In Schools
In order to promote table tennis amongst young
students, exhibitions are being held at various public and private schools. The exhibition
consists of a show of the various stroke techniques used in the sport as well as an
explanation of the game tactics. This exhibition is presented by Mario and Edward and
normally last for a one hour session. We have seen a very enthusiastic response from the
students at the schools we visited. Amongst others, exhibitions have been held at Stella
Maris College, Saint Michael's School, Saint Albert's College, Marsa Secondary School and
Saint Elias School. (View more photos)
