The Eurotalents Selection Camp for players born in 2014 and later took place at the National Training Centre in Havířov from 15 to 19 June, bringing together some of Europe’s most promising young talents.
A total of 52 players from 17 European countries participated in the camp. Including coaches and support staff, the event welcomed 71 participants.
The coaching team was led by ETTU Head Coach Emanuele DELSANTE of Italy, supported by National Training Centre coaches Marek ČIHÁK and Ivan Ruiz RUBIRA. Physical preparation was overseen by fitness coach Patrik KAIZAR. Together with the coaches accompanying the national delegations, nearly 20 coaches worked with the young players throughout the week.
Nikolas ENDAL, President of the Czech Table Tennis Association,stated that hosting the camp is both an honour and a responsibility for the National Training Centre.
“Last year we welcomed players from 14 countries, while this year the number increased to 17. This is proof that everyone feels comfortable in our centre, and we greatly appreciate the trust ETTU has placed in us. We hope to welcome even more young talents from across Europe next year and continue building this important project together.”
The camp provided participants with the opportunity to train alongside their peers from across the continent, gain international experience and benefit from the guidance of experienced coaches in a high-performance environment.
