2021 NSW Hopes Camp

What an excellent effort with 44 players under 12 joining us for the inaugural NSW Hopes Camp at the Nam Ho Table Tennis Academy.

Our coaches, Hongbo Liang, Paul Zhao, Soyeon Kim, Joe Qiao, Wei Li and Nam Ho ensured all the participants were fully involved and enjoying the experience.

A big thank you to all the parents and coaches who supported us in this effort.

A special thank you to David and Alice Lee for their donation of masks and water. We should not forget that students from the Paul Zhao Table Tennis Academy made up over 50% of the participants. Great work Paul.

As the Camp doubled as a coaching camp and a Hopes Selection trial Table Tennis NSW is providing some assistance to players who came either first, second or third to attend the National Hopes Camp in Melbourne in April.

It was excellent for the participants to be able to see Alex Lee, our number 1 Junior player, and aspire to that level.

The winners in very closely contested round robins were Daisy Xie and Leonard Piyachai,. The runners up were Sophia Zhou and Ethan Lill. Third place getters were Lily Zhang and Nathan Chan.

Our inaugural State Hopes Championships have been an unqualified success and we look forward to continuing it in 2022.
