28 August 2012 The SportBusiness Group announced today that the ITTF is shortlisted for their Sport Marketing 360 Awards. The nomination is on the category of Sport Social Responsibility and the project selected is "Ping Pong Paix" in Burundi and Congo DR which is part of the "Table Tennis for Peace" program held in cooperation with Peace and Sport and supported by Butterfly. Table Tennis for Peace was already launched in Colombia (2009), East Timor (2010) and Burundi-Congo DR (2011) and involved more than 1000 children in disadvantaged situations. "Ping Pong Paix" was inaugurated last December with the visit of the former World Champion Peter Karlsson in 4 impoverished villages with ethnic and tribal conflicts between them, they also suffer a high risk of children being recruited as soldiers. Local coaches were trained by ITTF to deliver weekly classes and keep the children in a safe and healthy environment for their spare time. In March this year, children from those villages were invited by the German Table Tennis Federation to attend the ITTF World Championships in Dortmund, interact with local kids and watch the competition. Videos here and here.
If you want to support this nomination please vote before September 5th, a judging panel will select the winner among the top 3 voted projects and announce the results on September 27th.

Classification seminars for 2012 – 2013.

Two classification seminars Level A will take place in 2012, during Fa 20 tournaments. These will be in Eger, Hungary in 2/3.2012 and San Diego, USA in 11/12 2012 (please see the calendar for details).

Seminars will be facilitated by Juraj Stefak and Sheng Kwang Wu, and the content will consist of medical, technical and ID training.

The target group is new candidates who wish to become a Level A classifier, or also as a “refresher” seminar for classifiers who have not been active for a long time. For new candidates it is obligatory to have a medical or technical TT background.

For the year 2013 we are considering organising seminars for Level B during the Regional championships but more information will be made available once the plans have been finalised.
