The third such organised course in 2016; another three courses are planned for 2017.

“More than a positive experience to continue learning, planning, teaching; a wonderful group of people”, Lucio Campo (course member)

Notably, the course followed the Copa Tango Para Tournament, which commenced on Tuesday 22nd November with junior competitions and later a training camp for young players.

All the activities were held at the Centro Nacional de Alto Rendimiento Deportivo (Cenard), the high performance training centre where experienced coaches and new coaches, shared five days of intense activity where they were able to form friendships, exchange experiences and thus increase knowledge.

“Unbeatable experience with great people, an excellent group; everything good comes to an end but the best is what is to come, great ITTF level One Course!” Daniel Rodríguez (Class 5 athlete and course member)

Friendship through table tennis was once again evident; common factors on all courses promoted by the International Table Tennis Federation, common factors in Buenos Aires.
