Liberty’s summer table tennis clinic opens in Ikorodu

As part of efforts to encourage children to develop interest in table tennis, Liberty Sports Club has organised a Summer Table Tennis Clinic in Ikorodu from August 15 to19.

The one-week clinic will cater for children from age five to 15 in the Oke Oriya area of Ikorodu.

Speaking on the clinic, a member of the organising committee, Victor Isaac said, ‘this initiative is another in the proven steps of TREM Liberty Centers’ commitment to positively impact our community for good.

‘Our key focus is children. The reason for this is not farfetched.

If you are a follower of the sport, the first thing that strikes you is that while the champions of leading nations in the sports are teenagers, the average age of our national champions tend to hover between the 30s and 40s.

Little wonder no Nigerian, till date, has broken into the top 10 of global ranking in the sport.

“We believe the reason for this is that we do not start early enough to discover and groom our talents.

This gap is what Liberty Sports Club has come to bridge.”
