A joint adult table tennis amateurs training camp, held at ALPHA TTK together with Aurelijos Stalo Teniso Klubas from Lithuania. Spread over 6 days, the camp included 4 hours of daily training and a final teams’ tournament. Katia Mifsud (ALPHA TTK) and Aurelija Kybartaitė (Aurelijos STK) came together to create this training camp held in Malta between the 23rd and 28th August 2023.

Camps, such as this, are vital for creating new synergies between clubs. They also form new friendships within the global table tennis community. Being a camp designed for adult amateurs, it exposed the participants to the wider scope of table tennis; that of table tennis for all, table tennis for everybody!

This is what coach Aurelija Kybartaitė, had to say about the camp:

A very warm environment, sincere and common-interest people, the teamwork of the coaches created a wonderful atmosphere. We also hope for further close cooperation.

Adult table tennis training camp philosophy

Six days of intense training that brought us all together in sport . This was ALPHA TTK’s first camp for amateur adults. Nonetheless, it also included the participation of our young stars. This was greatly appreciated by all of the adult participants.

Tournament day

Tournament day was a highly anticipated event. This was held on the pen-ultimate day of the camp. Participants teamed up in pairs and the tournament was held in a Davis Cup style. Maltese and Lithuanian partners battled it out in very close encounters. In the vast majority of all matches, players had to resort to their doubles game to decided on the winners. Therefore, it was a highly competitive yet friendly event with players supporting each other.

The Lithuania-Malta team of Justin and Julian.C emerge as overall winners after meeting team Andrei and Julian.M in the final. A total of 8 teams competed in this friendly event.

Successful adult table tennis training camp

Feedback from one of the camp Lithuanian participants:

Our club organized a table tennis amateur camp in Malta on August 22-29 this year.
We were warmly welcomed in Malta by the members of Alpha table tennis club. Alpha coach Katia of Malta club, together with our club coach Aurelija, made training plans, shared work and players improved their skills. The training took place twice a day for two hours, followed by a friendly team tournament. I had enough time not only to improve my game but also to visit interesting places in Malta, relax on the beach and watch basketball games. Together with the members of Malta Alpha club we participated in a picnic, played beach table tennis and discussed various topics. This was a wonderful time. We look forward to further cooperation with this club and new projects. A few moments from the trip can be seen in our gallery by clicking on the link

Best ending of training camps in Malta….. relaxing together on the beach. Obviously, with our much loved orange TT mini table 🙂
