The women and girls group of the Kennet Valley Table Tennis Club were given a masterclass by top England coach Emma Harradine over last weekend (10/11 January). The twenty five women in the group were put tjrough their paces and given lots of tips by Emma in a couple of ‘intensive training sessions’.
‘Intensive’ more refers to the quality of the advice and coaching rather than physical effort, but Table Tennis is a great sport for keeping fit, and all year round as well. And socialising, something not to be ignored. Emma offered participants a few tips and left them with one key takeaway at the end of two ninety minute sessions.
Table Tennis is a very accessible sport, open to all and an excellent way of keeping fit and healthy. Richard Ramsden of KVTTC encouraged women to join the club a couple of years ago and take-up has been keen, as seen at the weekend where the two sessions attracted twenty five women to the club.
The masterclass attracted lots of attention and was even covered on TV by the ITV local evening news:
