In 2012 Bulgarian Table Tennis Federation celebrated 80 years since was founded. Bulgaria had produced good European players as Daniela GERGELTCHEVA Asja KOSABOVA and many others who were playing for different countries: Konstantin LENGEROV Martin BRATANOV Nokoleta STEFANOVA.

Same like in past the Course was conducted in Russian with additional reading and studding the ACM which all participants have in English.

Practical and theory sessions were combined with video and demonstration sessions.

The venue was Stoyanstroy Club with 8 table tennis tables more then 300 balls containers all necessaries requisites were provide including seating area with projector screen laptop white board snacks coffee water nothing where missing.

Once again members of Stoyanstroy lead by Stojan SARIEV and Ani SARIEVA showed great co-operation and full involvement in all organisation details.

Under umbrella of Olympic Solidarity and with great interest of Bulgarian Table Tennis Federation leading by Stefan KITOV the course was successful.

This course was not easy in many aspects because a lot of variation of technical strokes also because of English language of the Advanced Coaching Manual but the final result was very good: All coaches passed successful. Now they have to complete with 50 hours of practice with 5 hours of supervising to become ITTF accredited coaches.

It was very appreciated the interest and participation in this Course of all coaches but three of them were make really a lot of efforts to assist this Course:

3. Aneliya KAROVA the current Bulgarian Champion and Senior national team player have to find time between French league matches was not easy task for her because she combine her coaching work in Panagurishte Table Tennis Center with very active playing career.

The successful ITTF Level 2 Course was followed by High Performance Training camp from 7 – 11 of December in the same hall of Stoyanstroy Table Tennis Centre with participation of 16 young players from 12 -18 years 8 from them were girls
