Table Tennis Program Manager Mark Taylor said “Alois has formed a good bond with the squad, coaching them on many occasions both here and in Melbourne throughout the previous year. The squad will have an evening session on Tuesday, train all day Wednesday, and finish off with a morning session Thursday”.
“Alois also conducted a course for coaches in Warrnambool in January which will see the number of qualified coaches in the region swell to 10 with coaches in Portland, Hamilton and Warrnambool” Taylor said.
