Next EUROKIDS camp will be held in Luxembourg from 2-9 January 2014. The Luxembourg Table Tennis Federation is the organizer in cooperation with Chinese Table Tennis Association and Chinese Table Tennis College and supported by the ETTU, ITTF and TIBHAR.

“It is a historic camp as it will be run by 2 Chinese coaches appointed by the Chinese Table Tennis Association and the Table Tennis School of Shanghai. They will come with Chinese young sparring partners of the same age category. Eurokids Head Coach BRANKA Batinic and two other top European coaches, Jiayi LIU (ENG) and Liping LIU (GER) will also be assisting at the camp. We would like to ask National associations to nominate best mini cadet players and most promising coaches, so that they can profit from this camp and learn from Chinese experts first hand”, said Manager Lila de SOYSA.

A maximum of 30 players will be accepted due to lack of space, selected on a first come first served basis and also according to the playing level of the players.

“Please ensure that the players are able to follow the training that will be imposed at this very high level camp,” warned DE SOYSA.

Associations may nominate two players, 1 girl and 1 boy, born 2000 or later and one accompanying coach. Talented players shall be recruited through the Eurokids programme for the ITTF Hopes Programme and for future scholarships. ETTU encourage Federations to nominate female coaches as well.

Associations shall send their entries using the attached “Entry and Travel form” no later than 15th December 2013.
