Saturday 21st October 2023 – The Palace Hotel Sliema. At the annual Malta Table Tennis Association Presentation Night, medals and trophies were handed to athletes from all six Maltese table tennis academies. The awards covered some of the titles won during a number of national table tennis events played during Season 2022-2023.
Our club hoarded quite an impressive number of gold and silver medals, taking away a total of 32 awards from the available 66. This was thanks to months of hard work and non-stop training under the watchful eyes of our Head Coach Mario Genovese and his junior coaching team.
HiTT Academy – The Best Table Tennis Club in Malta
Recognition for achievements is part of every sport, even though different people may have different motivations and aims, and we understand that. For some, the goal is to better themselves, for others is to keep healthy and in shape. There are players who love the thrill of competition and thrive under pressure, while other players enjoy being part of a community.
However, the night at The Palace was aimed at the best performers in our sport. It was great sitting with our friends from the other academies and celebrating together. For our coaching team, having so many young players reach top positions in nearly every category was surely an important moment. Being the best table tennis club in Malta is especially meaningful to the coaches in fact, because they know they are doing a good job.
