International and European Federation hold a meeting at the WSA at the same time Representatives from 17 nations “storm” the ETTU-Women-Table Tennis Coaches Seminar with a Chinese special guest

On Monday September the 7th the Werner Schlager Academy in Schwechat experiences another highlight.

Besides the regular operation of the (inter-) national WSA-training-group the world-table tennis training-center in the heart of Europe has special visitors. Two hot-spots will take place at the same time next door to each other in the premises of the WSA.
