KDTTA to conduct free coaching camp

Khurda District Table Tennis Assocaition (KDTTA) has announced to organise a coaching camp for under-14 boys and girls at Unit-I Indoor Hall in Bhubaneswar from May 31 to June 14. ‘‘Coaching will be imparted free of cost by National level players Sujit Ray, Debadutta Mohanty, KVP Ramarao and Bijan Das Mohapatra daily from 6.00 am to 8.00 am and from 4.00 pm to 6.30 pm,’’ KDTTA secretary Smruti Ranjan Das said today. He also informed that about 30 new talents have already been spotted for the ensuing camp by Rajdhani Table Tennis Association, an affiliate of KDTTA. These youngsters were earlier taught the basics of the sport in a talent scouting camp held here at Regional Institute of Education. ‘‘KDTTA is trying to introduce advance methods of coaching, including robo-practice in the forthcoming camp,’’ Das claimed. Interested paddlers have been told to contact Bijan Das Mohapatra (Mobile: 9437497562) for registration of names.
