Table Tennis is picking up once again as a popular sport around Goa.  Of late, the table tennis players from Goa especially the younger lot, have excelled at the game even at the National level.

Today, we can look forward to good times in the near future for table tennis in Goa.  If this is to be taken up as a challenge, we need to work on a war-footing to tap talent and train them.  This will augur well for the future and allow Goan players to meet national and international standards in the next two to three years.

There is considerable effort being put in by the players, especially the younger ones, to enliven their game encouraged by their parents, coaches and the Goa Table Tennis Association (GTTA).  There is a lot of promise shown but that needs to be channelized into training and eventually results.  BPS Sports Club, Margao has decided to take up this challenge under the able stewardship of Goa’s former champion table tennis player Lenie DoRosario as a ‘Lenz Initiative’.
