How to come to Étel ?

I started playing table tennis five years ago. In fact, it's a family sport in my home. I saw my father played and then my brother and I caught the bug. This is the first time I've come here for a training camp. I quite like the concept, the atmosphere.

Everyone gets along very well. I'm preparing to compete like my father and brother and I hope to get a great ranking and a good level thanks to this camp.

I am from Paris. It's the very first time I've come here for a training camp. I particularly appreciate the quality of the training. We work a lot, but that's what I like. We're all here for the same thing: to train, to progress. We meet great people and we make friends. 

My objective is to prepare well for my next season in order to obtain titles and compete on a national and international level.

Nadia

I discovered the training camps on social networks and I really found the atmosphere that we could see in the videos. 

I haven't been disappointed, the trainings, the coaches, the afternoon activities, the beach, we can see that everything is done to spend a good week of ping and holidays ! 

Last but not least, the accommodation and catering are really good and of high quality!*

Paul

It's really a complete training camp to get back to training before the start of the season and the competitions. A week or two, if you are motivated, is perfect to be ready when the season starts again, especially on the physical level.

They give good advice on a technical and tactical level. The training sessions are well thought out too. 

This training camp is accessible to all, even if the motivations are different, there are all levels and everyone can progress at their own pace! 

Marie

We came as a family, all 3 of us being table tennis fans. We chose the external formula with only one training in the morning to enjoy our holidays in the afternoon because the place is very nice to spend time there.

Even if we weren't there all the time, we felt very welcome, there is a good atmosphere between all the players and the coaches. Everyone works and progresses at their own pace, the coaches are really attentive to our comments and questions, and we learn a lot in one week!

Stéphane

I liked the ranking of the players thanks to an up and down, knowing that we do it at the beginning of each training session, we can see our progress during the week. Besides, it also gives motivation to go up to the next row!

The place is really nice, you have time to discover the area during your free time, which makes you feel like you're really on holiday.

Finally, about the trainers, you can feel that they have experience, they are very attentive, thus the organization and support throughout the week are on top !

Fréderic

I come from Tallinn, Estonia. I am 46 years old and I have been playing table tennis for more than ten years. I belong to a club and I still participate in all kinds of competitions. This is the first time I am coming here for a training camp.

The language barrier is not an obstacle for me. I speak English, German and Russian. I came to improve my skills and also because I like this sport and meeting players from other countries and different levels.

Terje

5 days with 2 trainings per day, it's intensive (for my age) but it's a very good preparation. I'm very satisfied because they took my abilities into account.

At my club, I don't have the chance to have supervised training sessions, so doing this training camp allows me to take some advice, to improve my movements and to play against players quite different from my usual training partners.

It was a great discovery, I'll be back with pleasure!

Éric

I'm an old regular. I've been coming here to train for over twenty years. The coaches are very competent and the level is excellent. I started playing table tennis at the age of 42 when my seven-year-old son wanted to play.

I am not ashamed of my record: I have been French champion seven times in the FFGT veteran category. I will continue to play and do training courses as long as I can.
