Coaching clinic to herald Efunkoya table tennis tourney

A two-day coaching clinic will herald the fifth Dr. Adegboyega Efunkoya Cadet Table Tennis Championships, which begins today at the Indoor Hall of the National Stadium, Lagos, the organisers have said.

The organisers emphasised Efunkoya’s strong belief in the importance of education for young table tennis players, inspiring them to continue providing educational scholarships for the winners in the boys’ and girls’ singles categories.
 
To encourage more participation, the organisers will provide accommodation and meals for the participants, who will contest for five titles, including the singles (boys and girls), doubles (boys and girls), and mixed doubles events. The event is funded by former players and table tennis enthusiasts from within and outside the country.
 
The late Efunkoya, a surgeon and medical practitioner, became involved in table tennis administration in 1962 and was elected Chairman of the then Nigeria Table Tennis Association in 1963.
