The training hall of the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos, will come alive today as the 2025 U-12 National Hopes Week, organized by the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF), begins.
Scheduled to run from April 2 to April 8, the event aims to discover and nurture young table tennis talents from across Nigeria. This year’s edition promises to be an exciting showcase, with the most promising U-12 players from various states and regions gathering in Lagos for an intensive training camp.
Under the guidance of ITTF-certified coaches, the young athletes will be introduced to advanced techniques and strategies to refine their skills. According to the NTTF, the program is designed to provide a platform for these budding talents to display their abilities, gain valuable experience, and prepare for continental and World Hopes Week competitions.
The federation remains committed to developing the next generation of table tennis stars and fostering grassroots participation in the sport, with support from both the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and ITTF-Africa.
Throughout the week, participants will engage in a series of matches and training sessions aimed at enhancing their technical and tactical knowledge. Additionally, the event will facilitate networking opportunities for players, coaches, and officials, allowing them to exchange ideas and best practices.
NTTF President Ishaku Tikon expressed his gratitude to ITTF and ITTF-Africa for their continued support in promoting table tennis in Nigeria. The federation is optimistic that platforms like the National Hopes Week will help young male and female players reach their full potential and ultimately represent the country with distinction on the international stage.
