Meet coach Geri
Table tennis has always been an important part of my life, but I have also considered education equally important, because I believe the two can work hand in hand. For me, sport has provided a community and resilience on difficult days. I can recommend table tennis to everyone, because regardless of age or skill level, anyone can enjoy it.
I can help you bring out your full potential and improve your playing skills!
