 2009 US National Table Tennis Tournament Participants About Team TITZ The Team was envisioned by some of the parents of the players but was spearheaded by Coach Herbert Lau with the vision to promote and build a competitive Junior Table Tennis Team. This vision started when Coach Lau was invited to be the Table Tennis coach for the Irvine Chinese School at the Center. Since Sept. 2006, Coach Lau had devoted many hours in creating and establishing the Table Tennis Program for the South Coast Chinese Cultural Center. As a result, the parents (under the Coaches guidance) have formed "Team TITZ" to further promote Coach Lau's vision. Several members of Team TITZ (Players) have been competing in USA Table Tennis Organization's sanctioned tournaments and have been fairly successful in the short amount of time training with Coach Lau. Coach Lau has also volunteered many hours for the USA Table Tennis Association as a member of their Operations Staff. For more information, please contact Ernie Louie at: ernest_louie@yahoo.com |

Lessons are $35.00/hr. and schedules are arranged with the instructor. Please inquire at the Center. Players have trained with a Private-Instructor for many personal reasons: o Learning is inhibited in a group environment. o Focused training is required (e.g. Multiball, Serves, 3rd-Ball Attack, Loops, Footwork, etc.) o To identify and develop weak areas of play and develop a strategy to improve it. o Exercise for fun and lose weight (one student has lost over 20lbs. in 5 months). |
