The Ottawa Table Tennis Club is excited about going into it's second year of being a Provincial High Performance Centre. The youth that began and who are continuing their table tennis journey in OTTC's High Performance program into year two, were treated with newly designed jerseys to celebrate moving into their second year and also to acknowledge their amazing accomplishments over the past year.
Most, having begun playing from scratch, have come a long way and are constantly continuing to improve under the watchful eye of coach Priyanka, as demonstrated through their accomplishments at tournaments in Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City and Toronto.
The program, created by certified High-Performance coach Priyanka Pareek and club owner Steve Lambruschini, takes in kids 8-15 years old who show enthusiasm, drive, commitment and willingness to work hard into the program and teach them the basics to the strategy and mindset required to play competitive table tennis. This requires a great amount of commitement not only for the student but also solid support from the parents, as the program requires the kids to practice 12-15 hours per week, attend private lessons, attend match play and play in tournaments on a regular basis.
